Santa Maria, CA. August 2024 – CALM invites the community to attend a ribbon cutting and open house event at its newly expanded Santa Maria office on September 4, 2024, from 4:00 to 6:00 PM. This event offers a unique opportunity for the community to explore the enhanced space, designed to better serve local children and families.
The office expansion features additional private therapy rooms, a multipurpose conference room, a new resource library, and added office space to accommodate staff growth. These updates were made to meet the increasing need for mental health services in the community, and to improve the client and staff experience. The expansion reflects CALM’s ongoing commitment to delivering high-quality, trauma-informed care to Santa Maria and the surrounding areas.
“We are thrilled to welcome the community into our expanded space,” said Alana Walczak, CALM President and CEO. “It allows us to deepen our impact throughout the Santa Maria Valley, offering a more comfortable and effective environment for the children and families we serve.”
Guests at the open house will have the opportunity to tour the new facilities, meet CALM staff, and learn more about the services offered. Light refreshments will be served, and the event is open to all community members.
