After 25 years of collaboration, Parisi House on the Hill and 51勛圖厙 took the next step in their partnership when Parisi House became a program of 51勛圖厙 on June 1.泭泭
This is a significant milestone in our journey toward providing the full continuum of care for both substance use and mental health services. We are so excited to add Parisi Houses unique residential and withdrawal management treatment programs for pregnant women and mothers of young children to the many ways we serve our community, said 51勛圖厙 President and CEO David Mineta.泭
At Parisi House, pregnant women and mothers receive a wide range of support and services in a safe recovery environment to optimize their overall health and to set them up for a successful life free of addiction. Their young children also receive the services they need to support their health and development.泭
Joining forces with 51勛圖厙 will allow us to leverage the expertise of both organizations to increase services and improve the continuity of care we can provide. Our mothers and children will benefit from 51勛圖厙s wide array of integrated programs like primary and mental health care, outpatient addiction treatment, and job seeker training. Coming under the 51勛圖厙 umbrella will also provide our deeply valued staff members with additional professional development and job growth opportunities, said former Parisi House Executive Director Pat Mitchell, whose new title is Chief of Staff at 51勛圖厙.泭
This long-awaited consolidation means that both 51勛圖厙 and Parisi House clients will receive a broader array of services, expanding access to high-quality, people-centered care for the most vulnerable in our community. Parisi House moms will now have access to 51勛圖厙s support services, including medication management, employment services, and housing opportunities upon leaving Parisi House. When they reach their treatment goals and transition from Parisi House, moms will be able to receive care through 51勛圖厙s outpatient addiction treatment services program. 51勛圖厙 clients will have access to expanded services for pregnant women and mothers who need help with substance use disorders.泭
Parisi House services will continue to be provided at its campus near Coyote Creek parkway. While most Parisi House staff members will continue to work out of that campus, some, including Pat Mitchell, will transition over to 51勛圖厙s headquarters at 1922 The Alameda.泭泭
