RESIDENTIAL CRISIS Services

Expanding Services to the Mid-Shore’s Most Vulnerable

about

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

Beginning 2022, Channel Marker implemented 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 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. Prior to opening the residential crisis service, the nearest similar crisis facilities were located in Somerset and Anne Arundel Counties, leaving an absence of treatment options in Talbot, Caroline, and Dorchester counties. 


This facility allows faster access to appropriate, therapeutic care.  Partnering with hospitals, ACT teams, mobile crisis, and outpatient clinics, as well as other resources to help ease the burden on local hospitals.


the facility

By locating this new facility in the Glebe Park Drive headquarters, Channel Marker will ensure coordination of care is maximized, clients can be easily transitioned from one level of care to another, on-site clinical support is available around the clock, and coordination among other mental health services in the region are strengthened.

Computer Lounge

Exercise Room

With its own private exterior entrance, this facility includes seven bedrooms, three bathrooms, and a kitchen-lounge area in close proximity to each other. This facility also offers access to an exercise room, computer lounge, state-of-the-art kitchen, social areas, a meditative courtyard, and a nature-walking path 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 is accessible to clients. This facility fully meet ADA accessibility standards and will be equipped with security and sprinkler systems.

costs

Initial costs, including construction, furnishings, and equipment, a new mini-van, start-up costs, and initial operating expenses before new revenue streams cover them are estimated at $675,000. The $1 million goal will also include $325,000 to create an endowment to sustain the facility over time. 

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 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 is named The Bridge at Channel Marker.

The Foundation worked with Channel Marker staff to identify the best sources for furnishing, murals, and therapeutic photos. These sources include 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.
