A strong workplace environment comes down to mutual respect and genuine community habits.

Small setups like these keep our offices thoughtful, resourceful, and centered around looking out for each other.

The Strike Out Stigma Softball Game was last night, put on by Summit County Su***de Prevention Coalition. This event is a way to spread awareness about su***de prevention during su***de awareness & prevention month.

CSS's very own Sarah Boyle was a part of the Summit County team, and she helped bring the Summit County team to victory!

This game was a great way to spread awareness to su***de prevention, and we are always open for support.
