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!
Congratulations to the 2026 Birgitta Johnson Campership Contest. Pictured from l. to r. are Joanna Stewart, Dana Canevari, and LaShauna Glover. Our fourth winner Josue Maldonado was not present.
All winners will receive a free vacation to CONNRI Lodge where they will enjoy boat rides, nature walks, bonfires and many more summer activities.
The camperships are made possible by contributions made in honor of Birgitta Johnson, an avid traveler and former President of Fellowship Place.
Thanks to the Jamie Hulley Arts Foundation Fellowship Place offers a weekly Music and Movement group. Here, some of the group members are enjoying an impromptu drumming activity. Music, exercise, and social connections help improve our clients’ mood, concentration, and organizational skills. Kudos to the Foundation for their long term support of the Arts at Fellowship Place.
