Community leaders broke ground this week for a new youth behavioral and mental health facility in one of the city’s Corridors of Opportunity.
The Katie Blessing Center is expected to open in the city’s Albermarle Road and Central Avenue corridor. Its first phase will include 48 inpatient beds and an urgent care unit for children typically aged 5 to 18. The center is expected to offer well-being support through a range of therapeutic programs, including animal therapy, art, and music.
