Every client who comes to Caramore benefits from a wide range of services and personalities from our diverse staff. Right now we have 12 full time staff people, working to help Caramore participants in improving their lives. Equally as important, we have 14 dedicated part time staff, working around the clock, providing a continuous network of additional services in all aspects of our clients' lives.

Most of our part/time staff, and some of our full time staff, are former Caramore clients. These Caramore alumnae provide a rich tapestry of experience, talent, wisdom, practical knowledge, and passion for establishing helpful relationships with our clients. They can act as mentors and peers, in ways that are uniquely suited for individuals who have a mental illness. The combination of of all these things has helped us develop a staff that is uniquely suited for us to carry out our mission.

All of our staff receive ongoing training in the areas necessary to provide the quality of services we pride ourselves in. We have a wide range of cultural, ethnic, and educational back grounds that reflect our belief in establishing a multifaceted environment for our clients to thrive in.

Caramore builds it's successes on two guiding principles ---- 1) Providing a solid program of practical and integrated services, and 2) Developing good relationships between staff and clients. One cannot work without the other. In fact, we feel that the best program in the world (ours) is only as effective as the special people who are involved within it, building trust and providing support through caring relationships.
We value your input on anything you have to say about our company, our website, our material, or our services. Please let us hear from you by phone, mail, or email. Thanks.
