Three university social work interns were honored on April 26th, 2010. Fifty staff and members of the MHA gathered to celebrate their successes. Amy Lechner and Jessica Clancy from Edinboro University, and Katy Lynn from Gannon University, will complete their field assignments at the MHA later this month.
Bill Grove, CEO, stated that these social work majors contributed much to our mission of providing an environment for mental health recovery. He noted that their future is bright considering the many contributions they made to the MHA.
Katy Lynn, whose home is Ontario, Canada, provided a very interesting overview of her country. The group was interested in learning surprising details about our northern neighbor. Amy and Jessica introduced members with whom they worked. These members read poetry they had authored, told stories about their recovery and played the instruments they had been taught.
The event concluded with a photo session, goodbyes and a light snack.
Congratulations Amy, Jessica and Katy!
Thanks goes out to Kate Bender, MHA’s Consumer Employment Outreach Coordinator, for her donation of a beautiful picture to grace our facility. Kate is not only the donor of this fine piece of art, she is the talented artist who created it. Entitled "Recovery", this print could not be any more appropriate for placement at the MHA.
Kate’s commitment to consumer empowerment, self-direction, and recovery has made her a great asset to the MHA and our community. Sharing her love for art and her creativity with us is just one more way she expresses her dedication and very personal investment in the MHA mission.
