Fairmount Provides “Hope” to Lehigh Valley Conference

On Friday, October 20th, Lehigh Valley’s annual Harvest Full of Hope conference was held at The Palace Center, in Allentown PA. The Harvest Full of Hope is an annual event where consumers and providers unite to educate, inform, and increase mental health awareness. Fairmount is proud to be an annual sponsor of this event.

Part of Fairmount’s mission statement is to “offer hope”. As the main sponsor of this event, Fairmount was honored to be able to present to consumers and professionals. Each year, a member of Fairmount’s clinical team, presents on a topic that is meaningful to both consumers and professionals. This year Karissa Fogarty and Kristen Ullrich, two of Fairmount’s advanced doctoral students, spoke about anxiety with a specific focus on the biological and psychological basics of anxiety. They also spoke about the signs, symptoms and effective treatments and techniques for anxiety reduction.

We are also proud of Diane Sewards, Community Relations Representative, who is an annual chairperson of this event and dedicates many hours not only to this event but to the Lehigh Valley community!

Thanks to all who made this event an incredible success!
