Steuben County is expanding access to mental health and substance use services as part of its ongoing commitment to residents, according to a community announcement.
Through partnerships with organizations such as Clarity Wellness, CASA-Trinity, Catholic Charities, Pathways, Pro Action, Aspire Hope, Family Service Society, Hillside, and local law enforcement agencies, the county is working to ensure residents have access to care and support.
“Mental Health Awareness Month is an important reminder that no one should feel alone in their struggles,” said Lynn Gramley, LCSW-R, director of Community Services. “Every day, our staff and community partners work tirelessly to provide support, treatment, hope, and recovery opportunities for individuals and families across Steuben County.”
In 2025, Steuben County Community Services provided thousands of services, according to the announcement:
More than 24,000 mental health clinic services and over 8,100 prescriber services, supporting 1,271 individuals in ongoing care and completing 840 new intakes.
Mobile Crisis Services responded to 1,388 contacts and assisted with 119 pick-up orders and 12 CAP court evaluations.
Nearly 14,000 substance abuse clinic services, including individual counseling, peer services, group therapy, and jail-based treatment collaborations.
Over 2,500 inmate-related forensic services, supporting approximately 76% of the jail population through mental health evaluations, medication services, and treatment coordination.
Personalized Recovery Oriented Services (PROS) supported 90 individuals through recovery-focused programming.
Care Coordination Services assisted dozens of youth, families, and adults through referrals, support planning, and access to additional behavioral health resources.
Community outreach and prevention efforts also remained a priority throughout the year. The county hosted its second annual Suicide Prevention Walk with more than 100 participants, expanded peer support and respite opportunities, continued mental health training initiatives for community partners, and secured additional funding to strengthen prevention and harm reduction efforts.
Despite continued staffing shortages impacting healthcare systems nationwide, Community Services and its partners have remained dedicated to ensuring residents receive the care and assistance they need, according to the announcement.
Steuben County Community Services offers a wide range of mental health and substance use treatment options, including individual, family, couples, and group therapy, psychotropic medication management, peer services, crisis management, case management, adolescent and adult substance use treatment, and recovery-oriented support programs.
