Highlighting Services, Support, and Community Impact
From Steuben County,
BATH, NY — During Mental Health Awareness Month this May, Steuben County Community Services is reaffirming its commitment to supporting individuals and families affected by mental health and substance use disorders while continuing to expand access to care, prevention, crisis intervention, and recovery services throughout Steuben County.
Mental health impacts individuals of every age, background, and community. Through partnerships with organizations including Clarity Wellness, CASA-Trinity, Catholic Charities, Pathways, Pro Action, Aspire Hope, Family Service Society, Hillside, law enforcement agencies, and others, Steuben County continues working to ensure residents have access to compassionate care and meaningful support close to home.
“Mental Health Awareness Month is an important reminder that no one should feel alone in their struggles,” said Lynn Gramley, LCSW-R, Director of Community Services. “Every day, our staff and community partners work tirelessly to provide support, treatment, hope, and recovery opportunities for individuals and families across Steuben County.”
In 2025 alone, Steuben County Community Services provided thousands of critical services countywide:
- Mental Health Services delivered more than 24,000 clinic services and over 8,100 prescriber services, supporting 1,271 individuals in ongoing care and completing 840 new intakes.
- Mobile Crisis Services responded to 1,388 contacts and assisted with 119 pick-up orders and 12 CAP court evaluations.
- Substance Abuse Services delivered nearly 14,000 clinic services, including individual counseling, peer services, group therapy, and jail-based treatment collaborations.
- Forensic Services provided over 2,500 inmate-related services and supported approximately 76% of the jail population through mental health evaluations, medication services, and treatment coordination.
- PROS (Personalized Recovery Oriented Services) supported 90 individuals through recovery-focused programming and helped participants pursue employment, education, volunteer opportunities, and healthier lifestyles.
