Court Clinic Awarded Grant!!!

Court Clinic, a division of Central Clinic, has recently been awarded a five-year, $100,000 NIATx grant from The Health Foundation of Greater Cincinnati!!!!

The Network for the Improvement of Addiction Treatment (NIATx) grant allows the Court Clinic to function more efficiently and effectively in delivering substance abuse treatment services to clients involved with the criminal justice system.

Court Clinic offers an array of treatment options through Court Clinic Recovery Services, including interventions for individuals who use substances, are involved in trafficking and may have emotional concerns. Central Clinic is extremely grateful to The Health Foundation of Greater Cincinnati for making this grant possible.

Thank You, Greater Cincinnati Foundation!!

Central Clinic is grateful to The Greater Cincinnati Foundation for awarding a $1,000 Summertime Kids grant to the Enjoy the Arts summer program at Roberts Paideia Academy. Thanks to Jasmine Coaston (our After School Coordinator at Roberts) for her work to secure this grant.

The grant will be used to facilitate a 4-week program for students who will be immersed in four areas of art—visual art, music, dance, and drama. Students will be exposed to new ways to express themselves though these various arts. At the end of each week, students will showcase that week’s art lessons in a presentation.

Our lasting appreciation to The Greater Cincinnati Foundation (GCF) for making this project possible! This is the 20th year that GCF has awarded its annual Summertime Kid grants!
