GCASA Prevention Educator wins international contest!



Lisa Barrett, one of our prevention educators, was notified yesterday that she came in first place in the international competition, "Best Original Song." Lisa wrote and performed the winning song, "When You Look at Me," in memory of her nephew, Austin, who lost his battle with cancer just shy of his second birthday.

The folks at GCASA prevention are all very proud of Lisa and her accomplishment. We have confidence that her music will touch the lives of many.

Amy Klos celebrates 10 years at GCASA on July 26, 2009

Amy Klos celebrates 10 years at GCASA today July 26, 2009.

Amy has worked in several positions at GCASA over a decade. For the last few years she has been the Customer Relations Supervisor for the Genesee County treatment operation and has done an outstanding job.

Amy's skills, knowledge, and kindness are well known to all who have contact with her: clients, referral agents, staff, and other community members.

Customer Relations Staff are the glue that hold GCASA's treatment service delivery system together. They are like the hub of the wheel and without the hub, there is nothing for the spokes to tie into and the wheel falls into disequilibrium and wobbles terribly.

So, thanks to Amy and her staff for keeping the system in balance and runnning smoothly. We owe Amy and her staff huge thanks for all the years of service!

Jeff Gray receives his CASAC

Congratulations to Jeff Gray who has worked at GCASA's Residential Services Program now for several years, and who received the news recently that he has earned his CASAC, Credentialed Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Counselor from the New York State Office Of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse.

The CASAC credential is earned after much course work, internship and passing an international exam demonstrating knowledge and competencies in Substance Abuse Counseling.

GCASA is proud of all its staff who have the CASAC and other Licenses in their field and are designated as Qualified Health Professionals. The high percentage of GCASA staff with the CASAC and QHP credentials is one indicator of the high level of quality service which GCASA offers its clients and the community.

Congratulations, Jeff!
