Fellowship Place was one of several hundred agencies who participated in the non-profit rally at the State Capitol on May 20. Our clients advocated for Fellowship Place and the services which they rely on daily, for basic needs, housing, skill-building, and positive social connections.
Fellowship Place took to the streets on Saturday, May 3 to celebrate Earth Day and to support the Greater Dwight Development Corporation’s annual neighborhood clean-up. The weather was perfect, and Fellowship’s team appreciated the opportunity to be a good neighbor and give back to the community.
Special thanks to Bench Haven for donating a Friendship Bench to Fellowship Place. The bench is one of 20 benches placed across New Haven to inspire friendly conversations and support for neighbors in good times and bad. The Friendship Bench was developed in Zimbabwe as a way to engage lay workers in providing outreach and support for individuals suffering from anxiety and depression.
A special thank you to our friends and corporate donors for joining Fellowship Place for A Night at the Museum on April 30. It was a great evening, and we appreciate all the support for our mission to serve adults with mental illness by offering a full range of therapeutic support and rehabilitation services that promote independence, wellness, and a meaningful life.
Healing Through Art, an art exhibit showcasing the work of artists enrolled in Fellowship Place’s Expressive Arts Program, will be on display throughout May at New Haven City Hall. Please stop by and see the wonderful artwork and learn more about why art is a powerful tool for confidence building, empowerment, and recovery. What better way to celebrate Mental Health month! Cheers to our artists and to Marisabel Sanchez, Expressive Arts Coordinator.
