What an incredible day at the Recovery Picnic at Long’s Park on June 5th! We were honored to help plan and be part of such a meaningful event. The weather was beautiful and it was inspiring to see so many members of our community come together to enjoy food, games, live music and fellowship.

Events like this are a powerful reminder of how important connection and support are in the recovery journey. We’re truly grateful to everyone who joined us and helped make the day so special!

Last month, we had the opportunity to attend the Keystone NAMI Conference in Harrisburg, PA, an inspiring event that brought together mental health advocates, professionals and resources from across the community. Our Community Relations Representative, Greg L., was on-site sharing information about our services and connecting with others who are passionate about supporting mental health.

Events like this highlight the power of collaboration, education and advocacy in expanding access to care and reducing stigma. We’re proud to be part of the conversation and to continue supporting those in need.

We were honored to attend the Legislative Breakfast in Lancaster County, coordinated by Mental Health America of Lancaster and Lebanon, at Bent Creek Country Club in Lititz. The event sparked meaningful conversations about the critical need for funding to support mental health services in our community.

It was a powerful opportunity to connect with local leaders, advocates and partners who share a commitment to improving access to care. Together, we can continue to raise awareness and advocate for the resources needed to ensure individuals and families receive the support they deserve.

We had a fantastic time connecting with Lancaster County residents at the Lancaster Stormers game! Our team was proud to host a resource table alongside so many incredible organizations committed to supporting the health and well-being of our community. Throughout the evening, we shared information about our services, answered questions and connected individuals and families with valuable local resources.

Events like this are a great reminder of how powerful collaboration and community partnerships are in promoting mental health awareness. Thank you to the Lancaster Stormers and all of the participating organizations for helping create such a fun and welcoming environment!

As Mental Health Month comes to a close, we stand together in an important reminder: mental health is health. Our team is proud to raise awareness, reduce stigma and support one another because caring for our minds matters just as much as caring for our bodies.

Earlier this month, a former patient returned with an incredible gesture, 200 handwritten thank-you cards for our team in honor of Mental Health Awareness Month. Each card reflects the time, care and heart he put into expressing his gratitude. He shared how much his experience meant to him and asked us to pass along this powerful message: “You saved my life.”

In this work, it can be easy to wonder just how much of a difference we’re making but moments like this serve as a powerful reminder: we are making an impact every single day. These cards were placed in our employee break rooms, where staff were encouraged to take one as a lasting reminder of the difference they make.

Thank you to our incredible team for the compassion, dedication and care you bring each day. We are so proud of you!

Our team had a great time welcoming Hype Brew as part of our May Employee Appreciation celebration! From fresh coffee to specialty drinks, it was the perfect pick-me-up for a team that keeps us going strong every day.

Cheers to our incredible staff!

Members of our Leadership Team, along with dedicated members of our Nursing Department, were honored to attend this year’s Fishbowl Fundraiser in support of Arch Street Center, Inc. in Lancaster. Events like this remind us of the power of community partnerships and the importance of supporting organizations that make a meaningful difference every day.

Arch Street Center provides a membership based social rehabilitation program open 365 days a year, offering adults living with mental illness a safe, welcoming and stigma free environment. Through structured activities, nutritious meals and essential services, including showers and laundry, the center empowers individuals with opportunities for connection, skill building and personal growth.

We are proud to support Arch Street Center’s mission and grateful to be part of a community committed to expanding access, reducing stigma and fostering hope for those we serve.

We were proud to kick off Mental Health Awareness Month at Penn Medicine Park during the first of three Lancaster Stormers games on May 12. Lancaster Behavioral Health Hospital partnered with local mental health agencies, inviting them to join us in the community by hosting resource tables throughout the game.

Organizations participated in one, two or all three events, helping us connect fans with valuable mental health resources, raise awareness and continue important conversations aimed at reducing stigma and increasing access to care. We’re excited to keep the momentum going at the upcoming games!
