From the director, Kyle Pedersen…
I just finished a brilliant, funny and grippingly honest book by Linda Tirado who knows what it’s like to be poor. As she puts it, “poverty is bleak and cuts off your log term brain.” Her words echo what we hear from the 5,000 people we serve at the Connecticut Mental Health Center–all of whom are poor and also live with serious mental illness and addiction problems.
Contributions from generous citizens like you meet material needs, for sure, and expand the capacity of the people we serve to recover and regain their lives.
