It’s no secret that 2020 brought about change in a big way. It’s not only been about COVID, but the turmoil of long-overdue discussions on equality, justice, and even basic principles of fairness.
It’s been one of our workplaces flooding twice inside of a month, of another of our buildings being in the middle of protests, and of the changing dynamics of crisis care in Franklin County.
What hasn’t changed, though, is the dedication of staff who walk through our doors, day after day and night after night, providing the best care that they can in a system that is one of the most complex in American healthcare.

The Columbus Division of Police is grateful to partner with some amazing Netcare clinicians.
Kerith is one of those.
She was recently presented a Citizen Commendation award.
Sgt. Matt Harris, who oversees CPD’s Mobile Crisis Response Unit, nominated Kerith for her heroics of engaging a suicidal man from taking his life as he hung from the edge of a downtown building.
Kerith convinced the man to come off the roof and safely into police custody where he soon received medical help at an area hospital.
“Kerith has been with MCR since it’s inception in June 2018. She possesses invaluable traits that a contribute to the work we do,” said Sgt. Harris.
With a new year comes change and after 10 years of leadership our President and CEO, King Stumpp, will retire from Netcare Access in July of 2021.
During King’s tenure, Netcare transitioned from adolescent and adult crisis to focus on adults only, expanded our values to include trauma informed care, partnered with like-minded agencies to take on projects like the Homeless Hotline, added the Mobile Crisis Response teams that pair an officer with a Netcare clinician to ensure safety in the community and saw us through multiple renovations and facility improvements.
We are well prepared for the future, thanks in part to King, and we sincerely appreciate the impact his leadership has had on our agency for the past decade.

Many clients come to Netcare in the cold winter months with inadequate clothing. We do our best to provide them with whatever we can to ensure no matter wherever they go after they are discharged from our care they have resources and protection from the brutal winter weather.
We regretfully, had to postpone our 3rd Annual Community Awards and Recognition Dinner scheduled for Wednesday, October 7 at the Columbus Museum of Art until 2021. However, we don’t want to miss the opportunity to share the stories of our former clients and the vital work we do here everyday as we work with thousands of individuals in need of crisis services. This is our community at work and together we can end the stigma surrounding mental health and substance use.
