Bucks County will be the home to a pioneering crisis stabilization center designed to aid residents grappling with behavioral health challenges, including mental illness, substance abuse, and intellectual disabilities.
Recently, officials from Lenape Valley Foundation, Doylestown Health, Bucks County Department of Behavioral Health/Developmental Programs, Bucks County Drug and Alcohol Commission, Magellan Behavioral Health, and NAMI gathered in Doylestown Township to announce the new crisis stabilization center.
Once operational, the Lenape Valley Foundation, known for their work assisting those with mental health, substance use, and developmental challenges, will run the facility.
The center will have space for phone interventions, mobile crisis services, stabilization units that use the “living room model,” short-term crisis residential treatment facilities, withdraw management, and secured crisis stabilization units, separate areas for kids and adults, welcoming features and decor, and a sallyport for involuntary drop offs.
The facility will be 22,000 square feet and will stand adjacent to the existing Lenape Valley Foundation site on the Doylestown Hospital grounds.
“This new center will bring together the various types of services that an individual in crisis needs, so we can get the full picture of this human being and help them on their journey to recovery,” said Sharon Curran, CEO of the Lenape Valley Foundation. “Even though that just makes sense, that is not the way things work today. And we’ll do it all in a calming, home-like atmosphere in a culture of nonviolence.”
The center, the first of its kind in Pennsylvania, will complement existing crisis unit services and infrastructure.
Currently, local emergency rooms are the primary destination for those facing behavioral health crises in Bucks County.

The glorious music of the 17th century comes to life November 10th and 12th. as Lenape Chamber Ensemble holds its annual Baroque Fest in Doylestown and Upper Black Eddy, PA. The Friday evening concert at 8:15 is at the historic Upper Tinicum Lutheran Church in Upper Black Eddy; the concert is repeated on Sunday at 3 p.m. at Delaware Valley University’s Life Sciences Auditorium located at State Street and New Britain Road in Doylestown. Bucks County audiences will recognize many of Lenape’s distinguished musicians who perform so brilliantly at their regular concerts. This concert includes guest appearances by violinist Anna Elashvili who has served as concertmaster and soloist at concerts worldwide; and flutist Anthony Trionfo who has won praise by his appearances at recitals and festivals throughout the United States and abroad.
Opening the program is the Caprice, Op. 7 for two violins and Continuo, composed by Jacques-Christophe Naudot. This playful work is written in a French Baroque dance structure with Provencal dance rhythms and stately minuets clearly in evidence. Along with harpsichordist Lionel Party, performers are violinists Anna Elashvili, and Cyrus Beroukhim, concertmaster of the American Symphony and associate principal viola with the New York City Ballet.

Flutist Anthony Trionfo is featured in Concerts en Sextuor written in 1768 by Jean-Philippe Rameau. It is a transcription of the composer’s only chamber music work which was originally published in 1741. Selections from the five “Concerts” will be performed by the entire ensemble of flute, violins, viola, cello, bass and harpsichord.
The Sonata Op. 1 No. 3 for Flute and Continuo was written by Jean-Daniel Braun, a relatively little-known composer. This…

A 19th-century wooden house in the West Village that has lived many lives over its nearly 190-year-old history is now on the market. Built in 1834, the property at 392 West Street (also known as 6 Weehawken Street) was originally part of the open-air Greenwich Market and later operated as a tavern, cigar store, pool hall, speakeasy, and two gay bars. The building’s last owner, Jean-Louis Goldwater Bourgeois, made headlines in recent years after claiming he would leave the home to the Lenape people, the original Manhattanites. But when Bourgeois died last year, the house went to his estate and is now on the market for $6,000,000, as Gothamist reported.
The property was built on land that had been part of the colonial Newgate State Prison and later became part of the Greenwich Market (also known as Weehawken Market); it is considered the sole surviving portion of the market house. After 10 years of operation, the market closed and went on to house a saloon, a gambling parlor, an oyster house, bars, and an adult video shop.
Bourgeois, son of famous late sculptor, Louise Bourgeois, bought the building for $2.2 million in 2006. In 2016, Bourgeois announced he would be giving the building, and the land, to its original owners, by transferring the deed to a nonprofit group run by a Lenape tribe.
“Manhattan is a capitalist rock; this is a quiet protest against that,” Bourgeois told the New York Times in a 2017 interview. “I’m giving it back…

Doylestown is introducing a groundbreaking addition to mental health services with the Innovative Crisis Stabilization Center.
Doylestown is introducing a groundbreaking addition to mental health services in The Keystone State with the Innovative Crisis Stabilization Center, writes Wenjing Ding for Bucks County Courier Times.
Construction for the facility is set for 2024 and will be the first of its kind in Pennsylvania. It will serve 7,000 patients annually. The center would provide 24-hour observation and serve people with a variety of needs, including mental health, drug and alcohol use, intellectual disabilities, physical health, and more.
The patient gets treatment as soon as they enter the calming space. There will be separate lobbies and rooms for children and adults, as well as accommodation for visiting families. Those in need of more acute services such as inpatient facilities and long-term drug and alcohol treatment can also get referrals for treatment.
The facility is in collaboration with the Lenape Valley Foundation, Doylestown Health, Bucks County Department of Behavioral Health/Developmental Programs, and the Bucks County Drug & Alcohol Commission.
The center will be located next to the Lenape Valley Foundation building. It will also feature 24/7 crisis telephones, mobile crisis services, 23-hour stabilization units, and withdrawal management.

Washington, DC — The US Malian Diaspora and Locals Coalition is proud to announce a pioneering Trade Mission to Mali, scheduled to take place from November 7th to 9th, 2023.
Mr. David A. Spaulding, Practice Director at Lenape Legal Ltd., shared his perspective:”We are in the middle of a demographic realignment, and Africans will make up a much greater percentage of the world’s entrepreneurs and workers in coming decades. Joining the Mali Trade Mission allows Lenape Legal Ltd. headtopics.com
CFA President Melvin Foote, who was Knighted by the Government of Mali in 2021, thinks the Trade Mission can open the door to improved relations between the United States, Mali and other countries of the Sahel. Said Foote,”Many of the problems in Africa can readily be traced to the legacy of colonialism, slavery and despotic governance on the continent! At the U.S.
Mama Traore, the Executive Director of the US Malian Diaspora and Locals Coalition stated”As we embark on the US Malian Diaspora’s Trade Mission 2023, we are not merely crafting a moment in history; we are authoring a chapter in the story of Mali’s resurgence and the strengthening of our ties with the United States’ private sectors. headtopics.com
Through this endeavor, we envision a Mali that shines as a beacon of opportunity, innovation, and prosperity. Our mission transcends borders, reaching across continents, and uniting hearts and minds in a common pursuit of progress.

Plans for a far more effective and comprehensive way to help those struggling with mental illness and substance abuse disorders are progressing in Doylestown, according to experts in the field.
Those involved with the innovative effort to create the Bucks County Behavioral Health Crisis Center recently gathered at Lenape Valley Foundation to share details about the first-of-its kind facility in Pennsylvania.
Sharon Curran, Lenape Valley Foundation’s CEO, said the pandemic was illustrative in showing how many in crisis were not always receiving the appropriate care in the appropriate place.
“The ER was their first touch point with behavioral services,” said Curran. While the emergency room can provide critical, immediate support, the new crisis stabilization center, she explained, will bring together behavioral health’s “best practices” to address the wide range of needs for those in crisis.
“Under one roof, the center will provide all the components of crisis service that are now fractured across our system, including mental health, drug and alcohol, intellectual disabilities, first responders, law enforcement, physical health, homeless outreach and other services,” the Doylestown-based behavioral health foundation said.
“It’s creative and bold,” said Doylestown Health CEO Jim Brexler, of the ambitious plan.
The 22,000-square-foot crisis stabilization center will be located next to Lenape Valley Foundation on the campus of Doylestown Hospital on West State Street. It’s the last piece of developable land the healthcare system owns, noted Brexler, citing the critical importance of the project.
The collaborative undertaking brought together Lenape Valley Foundation, Doylestown Health, Bucks County Department of Behavioral Health/Developmental Programs, Bucks County Drug and Alcohol Commission, Magellan Behavioral Health and the National Alliance of Mental Illness. Each is playing a pivotal role in the highly anticipated and greatly needed center, officials said.
“This is such a smart decision,” said Rachael Neff, Bucks County…
