FROM:    Susan E. Seidler, Executive Director

      RE:     Coronavirus COVID-19 Response

DATE:     April 3, 2020

To align with Governor Sununu’s Stay-at-Home Order we made the following changes to our operations.

• Stepping Stone and Next Step are closed until at least Monday, 5/4/20.
• Peer Respite is closed until at least Monday, 5/4/20.
• Warmline is available Sun, Mon, Wed 4-9 PM; Tue, Thu, Fri, Sat 4-8 PM, at 543-1388 or 1-888-582-0920.
• Daytime telephone peer support is available Mon-Fri, 9 AM-3 PM, at 448-6941, 543-1388 or 1-888-582-0920.
• Facebook group(s) will be available 4/6/20, at www.facebook.com/ssdica.
• Zoom groups will be available 4/6/20.  Login information is in our April Newsletter and on our website.

Our fellow Peer Support Agencies across NH have enhanced their supports as well.  Links to their websites are in our April Newsletter and on our website. 

Essential business functions continue.  I will provide updates to operations via our website as soon as I can after they become available and we determine how changes affect us.  By 5/1, The Board and I will determine our options beyond 5/4.

I hope you’ll join me in remembering we each have the power to affect our own health and safety as well as the health and safety of people around us by following CDC and NH Public Health instructions.  By working together we can slow the spread of the virus and speed up the timeline to be together.    

Thanks again for your support.
