PB PERS Mental Health America of the Palm Beaches

Palm Beach Perspective

Talked with Andy McAusland, CEO and Jennifer Sellars, Chief Programs Officer, Mental Health America of the Palm Beaches. MHAPB, mission is to create a supportive community where all people can flourish. They offer programs including Clubhouses where members build skills, relationship and increase their confidence. At Peer Place Well Being Center they offer a less structured setting than the clubhouses. Members can drop in any time, take part in mindfulness, art, or music activities, join a group support session, or just have a coffee and talk one-on-one with one of our trained peer support mentors. Members sometimes go back and forth from Peer Place to a Clubhouse, finding what they need to flourish, when and where they need it. And they will be adding more services in conjunction with Alpert Jewish Services. Coming up on Saturday May 4th it's their Take Strides for Mental Health at the Mind & Body Connection 5K and Walk at Dreher Park. There's a 5k and 3/4 mile walk. For more info about the walk or programs, listeners can go to www.mhapalmbeaches.org or call 561-832-3755.
