After announcing two weeks ago that “the loss of funding and inability to secure sufficient resources to sustain shelter and outreach operations” would force them to close June 30, SpringHaven Inc. instead announced Tuesday the organization would remain in operation.
According to a release from SpringHaven, the organization announced “increased capacity, integrated care, and continued 24/7 support for survivors” through a strategic nonprofit partnership with Caritas Care Solutions. SpringHaven says the partnership gives them a clear path forward “grounded in stability, strengthened by collaboration, and focused on growth.”
The release states that Caritas Care Solutions is “a nonprofit behavioral health organization serving communities across Kentucky” which in addition to clinical services provides centralized infrastructure and operational support. SpringHaven says the partnership will allow the organization to continue its current services while also expanding to meet increasing community demand.
SpringHaven Inc. is actively accepting referrals. Anybody in need of services is encouraged to contact the local 24-hour crisis hotline at 270-769-1234 or visit springhaveninc.com for more information.
Temperatures are hot, so make sure you are bringing water and planning accordingly, but Bernheim Forest has many events on their July calendar.
One of the early highlights is the Independence Day celebration coming up this Saturday outside the visitor’s center. Bernheim Director of Marketing and Communications Lynette Cox says it’s a great day to bring out the family.
“Bring a picnic blanket or a picnic basket,” Cox said. “We’re going to have nature discovery stations where the kids and adults can learn about wildlife and plants from our volunteer naturalist outside our visitor center. We’re going to have our fire tower open for exploration, so if you’ve never been up to our fire tower, you get a 360 degree view of the forest and you can see all the way to Fort Knox and to Louisville.”
You can explore Bernheim on a Pedego electric bicycle, along with other activities.
“We’ll have arts and crafts,” Cox said. “We’ll have some cornhole boards out and other lawn games. We’ll have food and beverage vendors on site, including Salt River Brewing Company, and then we’ll also have hot dogs and chips available if you didn’t want to pack that basket after all.”
The event runs from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and is free to attend. Visit the Bernheim Arboretum and Research Forest Facebook page for more information.
If you are looking to make a career change, you can go the route of Mulder and Scully, Dale Cooper, and Clarice Starling.
