FROM THE PRESIDENT AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, DR. ADRIANA TORRES-O’CONNOR

I am honored to share with you a report on the activities and accomplishments of our 2022 fiscal year.

Our work this year was marked by a renewed sense of strength, inspired by what we’ve accomplished through the most difficult days of the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond. At the same time, we recognize the struggles that mark daily life for so many of the participants and families we serve. In the face of so much need, we’re determined to keep building hope for thousands of people on their journeys toward recovery. Our work is made possible by so many: our inspiring team, our dedicated board, and supporters like you.

In 2022, demand for our services soared even higher. We tuned into the needs of our community and stretched every resource and partnership at our disposal to get things done and achieve meaningful change for people across the greater Delaware Valley.

hroughout our 71 years of service, our programmatic philosophy based in peer support has set our work apart. We were the first in Philadelphia to establish a comprehensive curriculum and certification program for peer specialists. My team and I are inspired by the individuals who pursue a career centered on helping others and so generously share their lived experiences on behalf of those most in need. I look forward to welcoming more than a few of our hard-working students as colleagues in the coming years.

Training the next generation of peer support professionals covers only a small fraction of what we do. When reading through this report, I hope you will draw inspiration from the staff, participants, partners and supporters who make up the fabric of Mental Health Partnerships.

A mission as far-reaching and visionary as ours can only be accomplished by those who are dedicated to making a difference. I am grateful to you for being a part of our work and sharing our determination to build hope.

With gratitude,

Dr. Adriana Torres-O’Connor

President & Chief Executive Officer
