Happy Social Work Month! During the month of March Fellowship Place joins with the National Association of Social Workers, and the many diverse employers of social workers across the country, in recognizing the profession’s commitment to social justice and to improving the quality of life for the poor, the vulnerable, and the oppressed. Hats off to the social workers on staff at Fellowship Place and to social workers everywhere.
It was a busy day in the Career Office at Fellowship Place last Saturday when Yale students trained by the IRS held their annual income tax preparation clinic for our clients. Fifteen individuals had their income taxes prepared for free. The Yale students will return on March 30 for a second clinic. A special thank you to student leaders Joanna Wypasek and Wendy Zhang for working with Fellowship Place on this important service.
On Saturday, 2/17 Fellowship Place’s Executive Director welcomed the Yale School of Medicine Public Psychiatry Interest Group to the campus for a tour and conversation about the services provided at Fellowship Place. The group was very interested in collaborating with the agency on nutrition programs and building public awareness of mental health issues. Wonderful to meet and work with this young and enthusiastic group of medical professionals.

A special thank you to our corporate partner Kolmar Americas Inc. and its employees for assembling gift bags for Fellowship Place clients. Each bag contains a blanket, gloves, toiletries and more. What a wonderful way to share the spirit of the holiday season. Pictured here is Debbie Gianini from Kolmar with just a sampling of the company’s donations.
