A NEW CHAPTER for Michael
ONE YEAR OF NEW BEGINNINGS WITH SQUAREONE
Last summer, Michael entered one of CenterPointe’s residential programs with a strong determination to turn his life around for himself, his wife, and their eight children. With compassion and consistent support, our team walked alongside Michael every step of the way. He engaged in individual and family therapy, worked closely with a case manager, and collaborated with DHHS to rebuild trust and stability, even when the path was difficult. Michael successfully completed residential treatment, secured a housing voucher, and is now stably housed and joyfully reunited with his family. Today, he continues building on his progress through CenterPointe’s Outpatient services. He remains focused, hopeful, and surrounded by support.
In July 2024, CenterPointe launched SquareOne, offering immediate crisis support for youth and their families. Now, one year in, SquareOne has become a trusted place where children and caregivers can take a breath, reset, and move forward—together.

It’s a chance to begin again—with support, empathy, and no judgment. The program provides: • 24/7 walk-in and mobile crisis response • Crisis therapy • Post-crisis ongoing support Currently located at our Campus for Health and WellBeing, SquareOne will move to its own dedicated space by the end of the year—expanding its reach and impact in the community. “Everyone treated our family with dignity and respect, which encouraged us to keep seeking help. The staff went out of their way to provide services, build a strong relationship with our child, and offer meaningful skills that supported our journey forward.” -Family in SquareOne Services
