Ridgecrest CSU Honors Vanessa as Employee of the Year

Ridgecrest Crisis Stabilization Unit (CSU) proudly announces Vanessa Allen as its Employee of the Year. Her peers chose her nearly unanimously through ballot voting.

Having been with the CSU since its startup, Vanessa exemplifies Telecare's core values through her exceptional work ethic, honest feedback, and unwavering support for colleagues. She keeps Recovery-Centered Clinical System (RCCS) principles alive at the CSU and leads by example in applying CPI communication skills.

“Vanessa is everyone’s go-to for information and support,” shares Administrator Jennifer Malara, MFT, who notes that Vanessa can do anything asked of her and consistently goes above and beyond for the team.

Ridgecrest CSU provides crisis stabilization services through an integrative team of clinicians, psychiatric prescribers, nursing staff, and peer specialists. The program focuses on helping individuals cope with crisis, gain skills to deal with challenges and maintain stability while avoiding the need for higher levels of care.
