Welcome from Executive Director Sue Shannon - It has been a hectic few months here at HopeWorx as we have welcomed the Family Satisfaction Team and the FamilyWorx team into the HopeWorx peer support family. The opportunity to bring more people with lived experience into our workforce has been so energizing – the diverse experiences that each person brings strengthens our entire team. HopeWorx was already the home of the Community Satisfaction Team, which surveys adults in the mental health system, and AdvocacyWorx, which provides one on one peer support and advocacy for adults, and now, those teams can collaborate with the Family teams, sharing resources and knowledge. This has, in just three months, already been a productive partnership. This newsletter is designed to give you a glimpse into the work of FST, to see what changes can come from the feedback that people generously give our team. If you would like more information, check out our website at www.hopeworxinc.org. I’d like to personally welcome you to the HopeWorx community, and invite you to contact us at any time to give us feedback on the mental health system or to ask for advice or support. Someone at HopeWorx is waiting to walk beside you.
Sue Shannon
