From our family to yours, we wish you a Thanksgiving full of love, laughter, and joy. Happy Thanksgiving!

Last Friday, our leadership team celebrated staff by passing out Fall goodies! This was such a great way to kick off the holiday season.

Last week, on Trans Day of Remembrance, we honored the lives lost to transphobia and violence. While we mourn, let us carry their memory forward in our fight for justice, equality, and acceptance. Here at the Keystone Center, we provide LGBTQIA+ affirming treatment for adults and adolescents. Reach out to us today to learn more. https://lnkd.in/ethKA_3m

Today, we want to make a staff spotlight on Shannon O'Sullivan! Shannon is a licensed professional counselor who began her career as a therapist at the Keystone Center. After years of working in group practice, consulting, outpatient administration and private practice, Shannon returned to Key Recovery in her current leadership role as Outpatient Director. Shannon is trained in multiple evidence-based interventions including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). Shannon is also trained in facilitating outpatient groups including groups for women, Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction, and relapse prevention. At Key Recovery, Shannon assists in the development and implementation of program improvement and oversees the management of all clinical operations including counselors, administration and the therapeutic milieu. We are lucky to have you, Shannon!

November is Alzheimer’s Awareness Month. Alzheimer’s impacts millions of lives, and we are committed to spreading knowledge, advocating for research, and supporting those on this journey. Learn more and take action at https://www.alz.org/.

George Edmunds is November’s Employee of the Month! George has been a member of the clinical team since March 2024. He always chips in with daily tasks and seems to always be right there to assist with challenging or disgruntled patients. George has a consistent hallway presence and is developing into a rounding champion. He brings a calming demeanor to the milieu, which is receptive and appreciated by patients and staff alike! Thank you, George, for all that you do.

Today, KeyStone Center honors and celebrates the courage, sacrifice, and dedication of our veterans. #VeteransDay is a powerful reminder of the brave men and women who have served in our military, defending our freedoms and ensuring our safety. It's a time for communities to come together and express our gratitude for their unwavering commitment to our nation. Our own Director of Business Development, Jennifer East, had the opportunity to exhibit at this year’s Veterans Day parade in Philadelphia. Thank you for your service!

KeyStone Center hosted an alumni night at the Philadelphia Flyers game! What a fun way for alumni to connect, have fun, and enjoy some hockey.

Lauren Meehan, our Alumni Engagement Manager, had the opportunity to attend the 2024 TPAS Fall Collaborative at Serra Retreat Center in Malibu, CA.
