For All Seasons recently held an open house for its new location at 315 High Street, Suite 202 in Chestertown. Staff provided information on expanded services and tours of the new downtown space. The new location ties into the agency\u2019s \u2018Bringing Mental Health to Main Street\u2019 initiative, bringing services to main streets across the Mid-Shore and making services walkable for people living in the Shore\u2019s towns and cities. Beginning March 24, the agency also began offering its Open Access\u2122 program \u2013 a walk-in mental health service with same-day access to appointments \u2013 something new in Kent County. The hours in Chestertown for Open Access are Mondays from 2 to 3 p.m.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have been serving Kent County for 25 years and Kent County Public Schools with school-based programs for the past 16 years. Tonight, we stand in this new \u201chome\u201d for our Kent County services, but make no mistake\u2026 we have been here, walking alongside this community for decades. And, the really exciting thing is, with this new space, we will be able to do even more,\u201d stated Beth Anne Dorman, President & CEO of For All Seasons.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor too long, mental health care has been tucked away, hidden behind closed doors, as if it were something separate from daily life. At For All Seasons, we believe the opposite. Mental health is not a side issue \u2014 it\u2019s as essential as the schools that educate our children, the hospitals that heal our bodies, and the businesses that keep our communities thriving. That\u2019s why we don\u2019t just set up offices. We plant ourselves in the heart of the communities we serve,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is an honor to welcome For All Seasons to its new Chestertown office. Mental health is a vital part of a thriving community, and the services For All Seasons provides are truly life-changing. Their commitment to accessible, compassionate care ensures that no one has to face their challenges alone. We are grateful for their expanded presence in Kent County and look forward to the positive impact they will continue to make,\u201d commented Sarah King, Executive Director, Kent County Chamber of Commerce.<\/p>\n

Dignitaries who attended the event included the mayors of Chestertown and Rock Hall. David Foster, Mayor of Chestertown, added, \u201cIt\u2019s so beneficial to have For All Seasons in such a visible and convenient location downtown and not in a corner somewhere. I can\u2019t imagine the situation of being told to come back in three weeks when needing a mental health appointment, so also having For All Seasons Open Access available now with same-day appointments will prevent that.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis has been a focus and a big lift for the whole team, bringing this to Chestertown, which is a good central location for the county. Very few places offer anything like this, so to have this available is just phenomenal. I’ve been a huge supporter for years,\u201d shared Mike Cook, Mayor of Rock Hall.<\/p>\n

For All Seasons Mental Health on Main Street initiative is supported by the Rural Maryland Prosperity Improvement Fund (RMPIF) from the Rural Maryland Council. The American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Funds administered by the Town of Chestertown have also funded For All Seasons\u2019 ability to move and expand its Kent County office to bring in-person Open Access\u2122 to its Chestertown office and to serve more Kent County residents. The Consortium on Coordinated Community Supports from the Maryland Community Health Resources Commission has funded For All Seasons\u2019 ability to expand its school-based and community-based care, early intervention, and prevention strategies for Kent County youth.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhere you stand tonight is not just a new office. It\u2019s a statement: Mental health belongs in the center of our community, where everyone can see it, access it, and know that help is always within reach. These four walls are more than just an office. They represent hope,\u201d shared Dorman.<\/p>\n
