This week CEO Diane Marquess held a Town Hall to answer staff questions, discuss Agency news, State and Federal budgeting information that’s relevant to client care, and more.

We know how important communication and transparency is in an Agency like ours and work to ensure staff feel heard and valued. Thank you to all staff who joined us in person and virtually! Look forward to seeing you at our next one.

Dr. Michael Sharp, DDS, presented a check to Family & Children Services for their HANDLE WITH CARE campaign. Tesi Klipsch, Marketing & Communications Manager, accepted the check on behalf of our clients who will have their basic needs met due to the incredible folks at Sharp Smile Center.

The HANDLE WITH CARE Annual Fund is an essential safety net for those who turn to Family & Children Services for help in a crisis. It meets immediate needs and provides direct services when there is no other source in the community.
Even a small donation to HANDLE WITH CARE can stave off disaster for an individual or family and has the potential to change the course of their lives.

We are about to kick off our 2026 HANDLE WITH CARE campaign. If you would like to join us and help our clients in times of crisis, click here to donate: https://fcsource.org/support-us/handle-with-care-fund/

On Saturday, a team from Family & Children Services participated in the Gryphon Place Suicide Prevention Walk in Kalamazoo. The 5K cause-walk raises awareness for suicide prevention and provides critical funds for Gryphon Place in their work to prevent suicide. Their goal aligns with ours: they're fighting for a better future. For those affected by suicide. For open conversations about mental health. For prevention.

If you or someone you know needs support, call our office at 269.344.0202 or email outpatient@fcsource.org.

This week our Wellness Committee had a relay challenge for staff. Puzzles, team challenges, and staff bonding were all at play to break up the typical work day. It was so much fun to get out on a nice September day and mingle with different program staff than the ones we typically see each day!

Congratulations to team “Spark” who won the whole thing. And thank you to the Wellness Committee for constantly coming up with inventive ways to get us to move our bodies, create peace in our minds, and enjoy each other and our work days!
