Community Bonds: Keith Hochadel on Mental Health and Addiction Support During a Pandemic

I think the other challenge has been: while we encourage and have been flexible to allow people to work from home, there's that understanding of you may not be able to get a hold of those people first thing in the morning it may be a late afternoon, your workday schedule may change also into the early evenings and that we've had some really good success stories...
How do you keep a community connected when everyone has to stay apart? Keith Hochadel, CEO of CommQuest Services, joins Mike Gallina, VP of Outreach and Development for Aultcare, for an insightful Fireside Chat. In this episode of 'Hope Discovered', they dive into the challenges and triumphs of providing mental health and addiction services amid a pandemic. Hochadel shares how CommQuest pivoted to virtual counseling, assessments, and group sessions, ensuring clients continued to receive the support they needed.
He also talks about the creative solutions they implemented, like offering pantry items and maintaining face-to-face interactions while following safety protocols. The conversation highlights the importance of community partnerships and the role of discipline and relationships in fostering a supportive environment during crises. Whether you're part of a recovery organization or someone seeking support, this episode offers valuable lessons on resilience and adaptability in tough times.
