Congratulations Lisa Ricci, People USA’s Dutchess Embedded Peer Specialist on sharing her story on Spectrum News 1 Hudson Valley: “Hudson Valley woman shares inspiration for overcoming mental health illness”.

Congratulations Kim Wing, LCSW our Chief Program Officer for being interviewed for “Hobbies as a Key to Fulfillment” by Next Avenue!
“Resigning from my career was a sudden, unplanned life change. My middle son has disabilities, and I needed to focus on my family. Still, I knew I would have trouble adjusting, especially after giving up a long-term career that kept my mind busy 50 hours or more each week.”
“To make sure I didn’t lose my sense of self, I began experimenting with hobbies. And it helped tremendously. We need to be fulfilled in many aspects of life”
Congratulations Lisa Ricci, People USA’s Dutchess Embedded Peer Specialist on sharing her story for the Poughkeepsie Journal : “Treatment transforms patient’s mental health struggles into a life of purpose”.
“I used to look at mental health struggles as a curse and think ‘why me,’ but now I’m working in the field and see it as a gift to help me connect with people,” Ricci said. “This is such an opportunity that I have been truly honored to get, and it’s something that has really put my life on a trajectory I didn’t know I was capable of.”
