We had a wonderful day connecting with our friends at Community Resources Staten Island! We had a great time touring their main site and learning more about the incredible programs they offer to support the developmental disabilities community across Staten Island and beyond!

September is National Su***de Prevention Month, a time to remember those we have lost, support those who may be struggling, and raise awareness about the importance of mental health.

A simple conversation, act of kindness, or check-in can make a meaningful difference. Together, we can help reduce stigma and remind others that they are not alone.

If you or someone you know is in crisis, call or text 988 to reach the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline, available 24/7.

☀️Summer may be winding down, but we're still smiling about this year's Seamen's Society Summer Jam at Nansen Lodge! From great music and laughter to seeing our staff show up dressed in the decade they were born in, the day was packed with fun, memories, and plenty of throwback style. Big thanks to our Retention Committee crew for making it all happen! 🕺🪩💃
