Ellicottville/Nonprofits
The Rotary Club of Ellicottville is deepening its partnership with the Trauma Informed Coalition of Cattaraugus County (TICCAT) to expand mental health and trauma-support programming through 2026. Club leaders say the effort grew out of tragic events in the community that highlighted the need for stronger local crisis and addiction-support resources. Building on a 2025 slate that included wellness workshops for the Department of Aging and the launch of the Firekeepers peer-wellness program at Ellicottville Central School, the partnership plans further community mental-health education events and continued support for students and staff. TICCAT itself is a coalition of faith groups, local government, schools, nonprofits, law enforcement, the Seneca Nation and health providers, fiscally managed by Connecting Communities in Action.
