Aspire Hope hires Family Engagement Specialist; unused state funds earmarked for disaster mental‑health debriefing
Summary
Aspire Hope reported hiring a Family Engagement Specialist and said unused state funds will be used for additional debriefing for the county's Disaster Mental Health team; the agency also plans an All‑Community Day in Tioga County in May.
Aspire Hope told the subcommittee on March 10 that it has hired a new Family Engagement Specialist and will hold an All‑Community Day in Tioga County in May.
County staff reported that unused state funds earmarked for Aspire Hope will be redirected to expanded debriefing for the Disaster Mental Health team. Officials said they hope to grow the Disaster Mental Health team by adding a first responder and that the team lead, Terri, has established strong working relationships with local law enforcement to coordinate crisis responses.
Why it matters: expanded debriefing and a larger Disaster Mental Health team could affect how the county manages community‑level crises and supports first responders following incidents.
