Crisis Beds

about

Channel Marker, Inc. is excited to add Residential Crisis Beds to our line of mental health and wellness support services!

Beginning Spring 2022, Channel Marker will implement a new Residential Crisis Beds service to address the needs of individuals who are seeking stabilization through acute, non-emergent crisis support services.

Recognizing the pressing need for a less traumatic alternative to psychiatric hospitalization on the Mid-Shore, Channel Marker has developed plans to raise $1 million to add an eight-bed crisis facility

within its Glebe Park Drive headquarters in Easton.

The need is great. Currently the nearest similar crisis facilities are located in Somerset and Anne Arundel Counties, leaving a dearth of treatment options in Talbot, Caroline, and Dorchester Counties. When complete, this new facility will allow faster access to appropriate, therapeutic care and ease the burden on local hospitals.

With its own private exterior entrance, this new facility will include seven bedrooms, three bathrooms, and a kitchen-lounge area in close proximity to each other. The new facility will also offer access to an exercise room, computer lounge, state-of-the-art kitchen, social areas, a meditative courtyard, and future walking paths on property. Recreational activities available to clients also include billiards tables, a basketball hoop, gazebo, picnic tables, TVs and gaming systems, and choices of multiple lounge areas. Additionally, spaces for arts and crafts, a clothing lending closet, group meeting space, and a large dining area will be accessible to clients. The new facility will fully meet ADA accessibility standards and will be equipped with security and sprinkler systems.

Channel Marker Receives a Major Mental Health Grant

Channel Marker is a recipient of a $600,000 grant from the Van Strum Foundation toward the construction and furnishing of the new Residential Crisis Center. Part of this grant will go toward an endowment fund in support of the Center.

At the request of the Van Strum Foundation and Trustees, Cecilia and Robert Nobel, the Crisis Center will be named The Bridge at Channel Marker.

The Foundation worked with Channel Marker staff identifying best sources for furnishing, murals, and therapeutic photos. These sources included The Foundation for Photo/Art in Hospitals in Florence, Italy who generously responded and shipped 15 framed and enlarged photographs as a gift for Crisis Center bedrooms.
