FedEx Cares

Nov 1, 2018

A group of group w tools12 volunteers from FedEx Ground Strategic Planning Department braved the chilly fall morning to help Chartiers Center with some grounds keeping work at two of our program sites. Volunteers came prepared with work gloves and landscaping tools. Work included trimming trees and bushes, weeding, laying mulch, weed whacking, and more. Chartiers Center’s maintenance staff is responsible for maintaining all the Chartiers Center properties in the South Hills, and was extremely grateful for the volunteer help from FedEx Ground.
In the afternoon the work continued outside while a small group of volunteers went inside the residence to socialize with the senior residents. Inside the activities included hanging Halloween decorations and making pumpkin crafts. The pumpkins were then displayed for all to see. The residents were thrilled to have visitors and shared Halloween themed jokes. It was a great time had by all.
Chartiers Center appreciates the support provided by the FedEx Ground Strategic Planning Department volunteers.  They are also preparinside with pumpkinsing a chili-cook-off to benefit Mary’s Ma3 volrket. More to come.

What Is Mobile Psychiatric Rehabilitation?

What Is Mobile Psychiatric Rehabilitation?

Psychiatric Rehabilitation Services are founded on the firm belief that people can and do recover from mental illness, including the most severe and persistent diagnoses. Psych Rehab providers define recovery not by a lack of symptoms, but by the presence of meaning and purpose in one’s life. Participants in Chartiers Center’s Mobile Psych Rehab (MPR) program choose the recovery goals they want to work on and then meet regularly with their MPR staff to learn, enhance, and practice the skills they need to reach those goals.

Healing Invisible Wounds

For many Veterans, the battle doesn’t end when they return home. The experiences of deployment, combat exposure, loss, and the transition back to civilian life can take a profound toll on mental well-being. While every Veteran’s story is unique, the mental-health challenges they face often share common threads: post-traumatic stress, depression, anxiety, substance use, and a lingering sense of isolation. The good news is that effective, compassionate treatment options exist—and awareness and accessibility have grown dramatically over the past decade.
