Fellowship Place was at the Dwight Community Festival on June 6.
Expressive Arts Coordinator, Nadia Lopez delighted neighborhood children with face painting.
Recovery Advisor Doug Schwan, distributed helpful information about the agency’s services.
A great afternoon for fun and coming together as a community!
On May 16, program participants from Fellowship Place proudly joined with the Greater Dwight Development Corporation, local businesses, and our neighbors to help pick up trash in and around the Dwight neighborhood. The weather was awesome and being a part of this community project made everyone feel good.
Fellowship Place celebrated Mental Health Awareness month on May 13 with a recognition ceremony for program participants who secured employment, or who completed a job training program or college-level academic program over the last year. This annual event highlights the agency’s work to help individuals living with mental health problems become more independent. More than 50 individuals were honored by their peers and staff.
On April 29 Fellowship Place joined with members of the non-profit community from across Connecticut for a rally at the State Capitol. Our group advocated for improved funding and better access to mental health services. Some from our group were able to speak very briefly with the Governor.
Way to go, Advocates!
