New Mental Health Clinic Opens in Bismarck: Nexus-PATH Family Healing’s Trauma-Focused Therapy Specialist Tara Helfrich and Vector Construction’s Excellence in Concrete Award for Bismarck Parkade Ramp Project.

In recent years, mental health clinics have become increasingly important in providing accessible and effective care to individuals in need. Nexus-PATH Family Healing has recognized this need and recently opened a clinic in Bismarck. The clinic is located at 600 S. Second St., Suite 220, and features therapist Tara Helfrich on staff.

Helfrich is a Mandan native who holds an undergraduate social work degree from North Dakota State University and Minot State University, and a Master of Social Work degree from Western New Mexico University. She specializes in trauma-focused therapy and is certified in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. With her expertise, the clinic aims to provide comprehensive mental health services to the community.

Meanwhile, Vector Construction has been recognized with a Gold Star in the Innovation Category of the Excellence in Concrete Award program by the North Dakota Ready Mix & Concrete Products Association for their work on the Bismarck Parkade Ramp. The company collaborated with Walker Consultants to develop a solution completed in August 2023. The project involved repairing concrete radius beams on three levels of the spiral exit ramp and was the only Bismarck location to win one of the 14 category awards from the association.

The current economic landscape highlights the importance of a skilled workforce for businesses to enhance productivity and streamline processes, even as costs continue to rise due to inflation. Employers are seeking individuals who can meet specific requirements and contribute effectively to operations. Upskilling and continuous training have become essential as companies look forward to driving forward in a market still recovering from the impacts of the pandemic. Those employees who can adapt quickly will have a competitive advantage, while fostering relationships that benefit both parties will lead to a more resilient and productive economic environment overall.

In summary, Nexus-PATH Family Healing’s new clinic offers comprehensive mental health services, while Vector Construction’s innovative solution on the Bismarck Parkade Ramp earns them recognition for their excellence in concrete construction projects. As businesses continue to navigate these challenging times, upskilling employees with specialized skills will remain critical for success in today’s economy.
