Pike County Information and Referral System
Every hour of every day, someone needs to find essential services like food,
shelter, substance abuse assistance, etc. People often don't know where to turn
when faced with many different agencies, organizations and programs. In many
cases, people end up going without these necessary and readily available
services because they do not know where to start. The goal of an Information
and Referral (I & R) system is to connect people to the services they need.
In 1999, the Pike County Visioning Taskforce first recommended a county-wide
and centralized I & R system. The Pike County Interagency Council, Pike
County Chamber of Commerce and others confirmed this need, but lacked the
resources to address the issue. In 2002, the United Way of Pike County hosted
a community meeting with various agencies and subsequently formed the Pike
County Information and Referral System Taskforce. The United Way of Pike
County provided the funding to the taskforce because an I & R system is a critical
part of a human services network. The taskforce subsequently became a
standing committee and then program of the United Way of Pike County.
The mission of the Pike County Information and Referral System program is to
develop a county-wide and comprehensive I & R System. The implementation of
the system is limited to the available funding. The first priority was to develop a
centralized on-line database of human services, www.PikePaHelp.org, since this
serves as a foundation for the I & R System. The on-line database was launched
in August of 2003. Phone support is also available during office hours at the
United Way of Pike County.
Please contact the United Way of Pike County for more information.

ALLENTOWN STATE HOSPITAL
Alcoholics Anonymous is an international support system comprised of men and women who
have had a problem with alcohol. Their primary goal is to help people achieve sobriety and stay
sober. People share their experiences, strength and hope with each other that they may solve their
common problem and help others recover from alcohol. Together, people can do what none of
us could accomplish alone. Alcoholics Anonymous can serve as a source of personal experience
and be an ongoing support system for recovering alcoholics. It is nonprofessional, selfsupporting, non-denominational, multiracial, non-political, and available almost everywhere.
There are no age or educational requirements. A desire to stop drinking is all that is required.

DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES:
America’s most isolated and at-risk children are the estimated 7.3 million children who have one
or both parents under some form of state or federal supervision. Without effective intervention,
70 percent of these children will likely follow their parent’s path into jail or prison.
Womens Empowerment League has partnered with the Amachi mentoring program, which was
developed to provide at-risk children with a different positive path - by establishing the consistent
presence of loving, caring people of faith.
AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY
Amachi mentors meet weekly with a child who has been carefully matched with them; they often
live and worship in the same neighborhoods as the children. Amachi’s hope is that one-to-one
mentoring by caring adults will significantly improve the life opportunities of the children. Studies
have clearly demonstrated that the Big Brother Big Sister (BBBS) mentoring model has positive
effects - and now through Amachi, the strengths of mentoring and congregational volunteers are
brought together.

DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES:
The American Red Cross is a humanitarian organization, led by volunteers, that provides relief to
victims of disasters and helps people prevent, prepare for, and respond to emergencies. It does
this through services that are consistent with its congressional charter and the principles of the
International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement.
The Monroe County Chapter follows this mission in its work for the communities of Monroe
County, as well as the Townships of Porter and Lehman in the neighboring county of Pike.
Monroe County is a resort county whose population fluctuates with the seasonal attractions of the
Poconos. Our Chapter was chartered on May 16, 1917 as a result of World War I. The Chapter
has remained active since then, growing and working tirelessly to meet the ever-changing needs of
our residents.
One of the most satisfying aspects of working in the American Red Cross is being part of a longestablished and highly respected organization with worldwide affiliations. Respect for the Red
Cross is based on the uniformly high standards of performance and service that are established by
the organization. Every local chapter benefits from this respect and has, at the same time, the
freedom to manage its own affairs in accordance with national policies and regulations.

DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES:
Children are constantly learning, right from birth. Their early years are the foundation for growth
and development, and what they learn during those years depends on the experiences they have
each and every day. This is our greatest challenge as caregivers, as well as our greatest opportunity.
How can parents, grandparents and caregivers support learning? Since children learn in a variety
of ways and styles, to achieve developmental milestones the relationship with parents and primary
caregivers is essential. It's a connection that allows for optimum learning.
BRAIN INJURY ASSOCIATION OF
PENNSYLVANIA, INC.
Everyday life is a learning experience for children. Born Learning is a public engagement
campaign that helps parents, grandparents and caregivers explore ways to turn everyday moments
into fun learning opportunities.

DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES:
For more than 30 years, the Center for Developmental Disabilites (CDD) of Pike County, LTD.
has provided educational, therapeutic and family support services for children with developmental
delays and disabilities from birth to kindergarten age. Our grass roots response began with one
woman, a nurse, who visited families and helped them access information and services. This
support was informal and often based on word of mouth, from family to family.
As our program has evolved we have expanded our program to serve all children eligible for prekindergarten srvices through a variety of programs and as a fee for service program.
It is our goal to maximize every child's potential. We believe every child deserves the opportunity
for growth and development in a setting that meets their individual needs and concerns.We are
committed to supporting children and their families by providing programs and services that are
developmentally and appropriate and individualized for each child. CDD does not reject or eject a
child for behavioral issues.
Occupational and physical therapy, speech services and behavioral consultations are integrated
into the classroom program to support the achievement of developmental and learning outcomes
for children with and without disabilities.
Our family support services work closely with parent and caregivers of children to ensure positive
parent-child relationships. Additionally, family support services provide education and
information regarding additional community services and facilitate a family’s access to those
community services.
CDD is a licensed Early Care and Education Center by the Department of Public Welfare as a
Specialized Day Care Center. CDD is a Pennsylvania STARS Three Early Care and Education
site. STARS is a commonwealth of Pennsylvania initiative recognizing Early Care and Education
programs that exceed licensing requirements in programming, health and safety practices.
Currently CDD is the only STARS Three early care and education site in Pike County.

DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES:
The Delaware Highlands Conservancy is dedicated to conserve the natural and cultural heritage of
the Upper Delaware River region.
We serve Pike and Wayne counties in PA as well as Sullivan and Delaware counties in NY -- the
Delaware Highlands.
We use a number of conservation tools, including a land preservation agreement also called a
Conservation Easement. Under the terms of a land preservation agreement, the landowner
continues to own the land but puts restrictions on the property that ensures all future owners are
bound by the same stewardship goals the current owner advocates. The restrictions are based on
the owners’ requirements and desires but usually restrict future subdivision and development of
the property. Although there is a financial incentive, landowners partner with us to ensure the
land they love – with its scenic vistas, beautiful forests, pristine waters, and productive farms remains for future generations.
We also run a variety of educational events providing stewardship tools and information. We
maintain a small nature center, the Butterfly Barn, so children and adults can learn about the
plants and wildlife native to this region and how to care for their terrestrial and aquatic habitats.

E.A.R.S. is a non-profit organization. With the onset of declining vision, comes the need to relearn how to do many daily activities. Our goal is to help people maintain their independence
with low vision rehabilitation training.
We provide, free of charge, audio-cassette lesson tapes that teach adaptive daily living skills to the
vision-impaired and their caregivers. The lessons, modeled after current blind rehabilitation
techniques, are a must for anyone coping with loss of eyesight. By listening to E.A.R.S. lesson
tapes, you'll hear uncomplicated, straightforward ways to help you do the things made difficult by
low vision. Personal grooming, doing the laundry, and dialing the telephone can once again
become simple, enjoyable events.
Low vision rehabilitation training is learning practical techniques to overcome the limitations of
vision loss. It provides solutions for safely moving about, making the most of available light and
contrasting color, and using your sense of touch to replace information your eyes used to provide.
It enables you to continue to live independently. By listening to E.A.R.S. audio-taped lessons, you
will learn many new ways to successfully continue to do everyday activities when you have
reduced vision.

Advisory Boards raise funds to support the purchase of new books by soliciting donations from
individuals, businesses, service organizations, and foundations in their communities. These

DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES:
New Vision Clubhouse is a place for people with mental illnesses to reconnect with the
community and develop a sense of belonging and self-worth. Here, members find a safe,
supportive environment to learn new skills, gain confidence, and bring balance back into their
lives. Here, people meet others, make friends, and learn to work together as a community. New
members take beginning steps to reenter the workforce. Employment is the cornerstone of a
healthy recovery.
Currently employers and positions are being sought. Job coaches from New Vision Clubhouse
provide vocational counseling on site and work through any employer-employee issues assuring
the job duties are performed at satisfactory or above standards. The potential employee's
readiness is assessed prior to job matching. New transitional employment placements are being
developed where members and employers are guaranteed the job gets done.
New Vision Clubhouse promotes the partnership model of psychiatric rehabilitation, where
members play a critical role in the operation and governance of the clubhouse. Members and staff
work together on tasks that benefit the clubhouse and members. Recovery from mental illness is
enhanced through these experiences because it gives individuals a sense of accomplishment and
competency, as well as being a valued member of the community.
New Vision Clubhouse is a voluntary program that offers choice, equality, and respect to all
members. Focus is centered on strengths, abilities, and talents of members.
As July 2007 the clubhouse will be offering psychiatric rehabilitation services. The same quality of
service members have enjoyed will continue. However, those recipients of Medical Assistance
who require further rehabilitation supports will receive enhanced individualized care. Referrals for
this service need to meet medical necessity criteria. This will be determined by New Vision staff
based on regulations.

CHIP is short for the Children's Health Insurance Program - Pennsylvania's program to provide
health insurance to uninsured children and teens. There are a lot of reasons kids might not have
health insurance - maybe their parents lost a job, maybe their parents don't have health insurance
at work or maybe it just costs too much. Whatever the reason, CHIP may be able to help.

PENNSYLVANIA'S CHILDREN'S HEALTH
INSURANCE PROGRAM (CHIP)
This group helps people and their families throughout the state of Pennsylvania who have mental
retardation. It assists these individuals and their families by providing trainings and information to
help individuals live and work in their communities. Some of the trainings are Self Determination,
Understanding the Mental Retardation System, The Medicaid Waiver, and Person Centered
Planning. To receive our NEWSFLASH and be added to our mailing list, please call or email the
PA SELF DETERMINATION CONSUMER AND FAMILY GROUP.
PENNSYLVANIA SELF DETERMINATION
CONSUMER AND FAMILY GROUP
There are two main approaches utilized by the PHRC to seek compliance with the law: (1) the
receipt, investigation, resolution, and litigation of formal complaints of discrimination filed by
aggrieved persons or the Attorney General. The PHRC also initiates formal complaints of
discrimination under appropriate conditions or circumstances; and, (2) the publication of
regulations and guidelines, as well as the provision of technical assistance to organizations or
individuals in order to generate voluntary compliance with the law.
CHIP works with private health insurance companies you know to make sure your children get
their immunizations, doctor''s visits, prescriptions, vision exams, check-ups at the dentist and
more! For most families, all of this comes at no cost. That's right - great health insurance for free.
You get the same health insurance card as everyone else, so no one needs to know you have
CHIP. You might think that your children aren''t eligible. A lot of parents are surprised to learn
that CHIP can help their families.
PHRC ACCESSIBILITY/DISABILITY WEBSITE
Now, all uninsured children and teens up to age 19 have access to health insurance, regardless of
family income. It's the same great program, now available to more families. It doesn't matter how
much money your family makes. Many will get it free. Others, at low-cost. Don’t assume that you
earn too much to qualify. Every uninsured child and teen who is not eligible for Medical
Assistance now has access to comprehensive health insurance. Many families will not have to pay
for CHIP. Families with higher incomes will have low monthly premiums and co-pays for some
services.

DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES:
Pike County Advanced Life Support, Inc. is a grass roots organization that brings Advanced Life
Support in the form of Paramedics to Pike County. PIKE ALS was incorporated in October 2001
and received its 501(c)3 not-for-profit status in March 2002.
Memorial Weekend 2006, Pike Advanced Life Support, Inc. celebrated its 3rd anniversary. Since
we started providing paramedic services, we have made a significant difference in the lives of
many victims of medical emergencies.
www.PikePaHelp.org
June 2008
PIKE COUNTY ADVANCED LIFE SUPPORT,
INC.
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Before we started running our paramedic service in Pike County, there was only Basic Life
Support. That meant if you have any type of emergency that required Advanced Life Support –
an asthma attack or heart attack for instance -Paramedics (Advanced Life Support Unit) should
have been called to render immediate emergency treatment. Unfortunately, at that time, the
closest Paramedic units to Pike County were outside of Pike County. In order for emergency
treatment to be rendered, a paramedic had to be requested from neighboring counties whose
emergency services were already pushed to capacity. Paramedic units are required within 10
minutes of the incident. If no paramedic unit is found, no advanced emergency medical treatment
could be rendered, forcing the BLS unit to run with the patient to the closest hospital. The old
procedure took away precious treatment time from the patient and hurt our neighboring counties
by removing much needed resources out of their areas. When a Paramedic Unit from another
area was called to Pike County, the Paramedic Unit was out of service for a minimum of 3 hours,
leaving their primary response area uncovered and placing an undue hardship on the other
county's residents.
Our Mission
The mission of Pike County Advanced Life Support, Inc. is to render emergency medical services
to the general public and the community at large.
Our goal continues to include medical instruction to the community and working with other
EMS, Fire and Rescue services to provide comprehensive coverage. We strive to provide timely
medical intervention and patient information for hospital commands, evaluation and instruction.
Through the utilization of both traditional and non-traditional programs (i.e.: substations, global
positioning, acute business planning, etc.) Pike County Advanced Life Support, Inc. endeavors to
help soothe the unpreventable distress experienced by our patients and their families.
A primary function of our existence is to insure that pre-hospital care does not deteriorate and
insure that the public is provided with quality emergency medical care regardless of economic
conditions.
Providing for our patient's well being is our most important concern.

DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES:
In order to fulfill Governor Rendell’s vision for high quality early education for Pennsylvania’s
children, the Office of Child Development was created by the Department of Public Welfare. The
Pennsylvania Early Learning Keys to Quality was then created to offer a unified access point to
resources and is a quality improvement system in which all early learning programs and
practitioners are encouraged and supported to improve child outcomes.
The Pennsylvania Early Learning Keys to Quality includes six Regional Keys and a state-level
Pennsylvania Key located in Harrisburg. The Keys’ work is guided by principles that focus on the
development and coordination of local and regional resources, promoting quality programs, and
obtaining positive outcomes for children.
The Regional Key provides funds to local communities to form Community Engagement for
Early Care and Education Groups in each of Pennsylvania’s 67 counties. The Early Care and
Education Coalition of Pike County is part of the Northeast Regional Key and is the Pike County
Community Engagement Group. We have been promoting quality early learning through events,
activities, and programs locally since 2002.
As you explore the pages within our website, you will find updated information on quality early
care, resources and services, professional development, and the Early Care and Education
Initiative. Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

The Wayne Pike Adult Literacy Program is a volunteer, non-profit organization under the aegis of
ProLiteracy America. It was founded in 1986 by two local volunteers whose vision for the future
included a literate society in which every citizen could be a well-informed voter. Our goal is to
help people improve their lives so that they might reach their fullest potential. We provide adult
populations of both Wayne and Pike counties with reading, writing, and math skills. Tutoring is
on a one-to-one basis with those who have no reading skills, as well as for adults with limited
skills, people for whom English is their second language, and also those who wish to attain the
equivalent of a high school diploma (GED). Our programs extend to both the Wayne and Pike
County Jails. Our program covers over 1,200 square miles.
