A virtual ribbon-cutting ceremony for Transitions, hosted by the Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center and Douglas County, will be at noon, Friday, Nov. 20. The event will be live streamed on the Bert Nash Center Facebook page at facebook.com/bertnashcenter.

Transitions is part of the Treatment and Recovery Campus of Douglas County. The campus will provide services and housing for individuals with serious mental illness, substance use disorders and addiction challenges. The campus is located at 1000 W. Second St., north of the Community Health Facility.

Transitions will provide a congregate-style living setting that will serve up to 12 clients of the Bert Nash Center for up to 12 months. These clients will attend programs designed to enhance their recovery and transition back into the community. Transitions will serve persons experiencing homelessness, severe and persistent mental illness, substance use, and extremely low or no income. The target population will be individuals who are experiencing a high risk for mortality and chronic disease, chronic or cyclical homelessness, considerable barriers to obtaining resources and services, and as engaging in extremely high utilization of crisis, emergency, jail and inpatient services.
