Wellspring Samuel B. Todd center - csu The Samuel B. Todd Center
was Kentucky’s first residential, community-based crisis unit when it opened in 1995 as the Frank M. Gaines CSU. Until Wellspring opened the David J. Block Center, it remained as the region's only such program. In 2005, the Gaines Center CSU received the Mental Health Association of Kentucky's prestigious Philip P. Ardery Award, honoring ten years of urgent, ongoing psychiatric care and treatment in a community setting. The Gaines Center CSU serves eight men and women in a home-like setting at the edge of downtown Louisville. Over the last 19 years 4,172 adults have been served through this site; 5,765 individuals have been served through the program’s two locations.
