Scranton Counseling Center Receives Grant Scranton Counseling Center (SCC) has been awarded a $300,000, 3-year grant from the Northeastern Pennsylvania Health Care Foundation, in collaboration with the Moses Taylor Foundation and AllOne Foundation and Charities. This grant will support the expansion of SCC’s Employee Assistance Program, providing counseling to our direct-service staff as well as focusing on physical wellness, mindfulness and professional training for non-direct service staff. With over 260 employees, Scranton Counseling Center serves over 9,000 consumers in Lackawanna, Susquehanna and surrounding counties each year. Staff often suffer from compassion fatigue, vicarious trauma and burnout. It is our goal with this grant to provide the tools necessary for all staff to live healthier lives, reduce stress and burnout, and have the opportunity to grow through attending in-house seminars. We are very thankful for the NEPA Health Care Foundation for recognizing the importance of providing employee mental and behavioral health services and for this grant which will allow us to impact the lives of all our staff.
