Voices Of Recovery

When I first connected with Mental Health Partnerships, I was navigating through a sea of uncertainty. Having recently left my job due to a mental health crisis, I found myself unable to meet financial obligations and lacked the security of health insurance. In the compassionate hands of the advocacy department at MHP, my journey toward recovery began to unfold. Today, I stand on the other side of that journey, armed with a diagnosis and the renewed strength to face life’s challenges head-on.

Ryan is autistic and non-verbal. When he first joined MHP, he was not comfortable enough to communicate with team members or peers. After several months of patient work with non-verbal modes of communication, such as using hand signs or a tablet, Ryan has begun to engage more and even initiate verbal conversation at times, which is a significant step forward. Ryan continues to progress the more he takes part in MHP programs.

Meet Mike DeHaven,

Board of Directors Treasurer

Mental Health Partnerships

  • In 2017, my connection with Mental Health Partnerships (MHP) began when a close family member needed mental health services. A friend of mine, who was already on the board, introduced me to MHP during the time my family member needed assistance. This friend, who was chair of the governance and nominating committee, saw the value of my expertise as both a certified public accountant and a family member with lived experience. Encouraged by his support, I made the decision to join the board. This personal experience fueled my passion to make a difference, ultimately leading me to become an advocate for mental health in our community.

  • In my experiences since joining the board, I've discovered that numerous families are affected by mental health in various ways. The positive trend I've observed is that families are increasingly opening up about it instead of considering it the metaphorical “elephant in the room.”

  • It has been great. We have a diverse group with varied backgrounds, and everyone collaborates really well. We all share a strong commitment to the work we do and the participants we serve. I find it fulfilling, and I believe we have a cohesive team poised to further enhance the services we offer.

    I applauded MHP's commitment to diversity and inclusion, both within the board and the organization, I want to highlight the welcoming environment we strive to maintain for participants of all backgrounds. Our open-door policy ensures that we provide love and support to everyone we encounter, creating an inclusive space for all.

  • During a recent visit to one of MHP's sites, Project Shares in Delco, I witnessed the unwavering dedication of the staff and volunteers. MHP's impact on the lives of its participants is truly remarkable. Also, it was wonderful to see community members volunteer to make food for participants, demonstrating people's commitment to helping those in recovery.

    The spirit in the room was amazing. People were helping each other and being open and honest about their struggles.

    Also, reflecting on my time on the board, I am struck by the diversity of our members and our collective dedication to MHP's mission. The supportive environment we've cultivated fosters a positive atmosphere that propels the organization's growth, making it an inspiring space to be a part of.

The spirit in the room was amazing. People were helping each other and being open and honest about their struggles.
