The Children’s Home of Northern Kentucky/CHNK Behavioral Health (CHNK) recently celebrated the opening of its fourth location in Williamstown.
The grand opening and ribbon cutting of the Carol and Bob Griffin Outpatient Center, named after longtime CHNK supporters, marked the expansion of CHNK mental health and substance use disorder services throughout the region.
The new location joins the organization’s roster of residential homes at Devou Park and Burlington in Covington, as well as its outpatient center in downtown Covington, and offers individual and group therapy, case management and intensive outpatient programs, serving children, adolescents, adults and families.
“Kentucky and the entire region suffer from a shortage of mental health care providers, so when we saw an opportunity to fill that gap, we seized it,” said Rick Wurth, CEO of CHNK Behavioral Health. “Whether our clients are cared for by our clinical team of experts in person or via telehealth, CHNK is committed to providing experiences that are inclusive, innovative and inspiring. We are grateful for this opportunity to reach more people in Grant County and the surrounding communities who are seeking a path to peace, healing and wellness.”
Speakers at the grand opening included Grant County Schools Superintendent Todd Moody, St. Elizabeth Healthcare President and CEO Garren Colvin, Senator Chris McDaniel, and Representatives Kim Moser and Stephanie Dietz.
“CHNK’s presence in Grant County will provide tremendous value to our community,” said Moody. “Grant County Schools has enjoyed a strong partnership with CHNK, and I am pleased that our families will now have greater access to the high-quality care and support that CHNK is so well known and valued for.”
CHNK is currently hiring additional therapists for the new location at 103 Barnes Road in Williamstown. For more information and to apply, visit chnk.org under Careers.
