Mark Salzer, Ph.D., to speak at February Meeting

Community integration is the opportunity to live in the community and be valued for one’s uniqueness and abilities, like everyone else. Community integration encompasses housing, employment, education, leisure/recreation, social roles, peer support, health status, citizenship, self-determination and religion/spirituality. Community integration (or, the opportunity to live like everyone else) should result in community presence and participation of people with psychiatric disabilities similar to that of all others without a disability label.

Please plan to join us on Sunday February 21st when Mark Salzer, Ph.D., will present his work that is so important to helping persons living with mental illness to lead fully integrated lives. Dr. Salzer is the Principal Investigator and Director of the University of Pennsylvania Collaborative on Community Integration. He is also an investigator in the Mental IllnessRresearch, Education and Clinical center based at the Philadelphia VA Medical Center.

Our doors open at 1:30 PM for refreshments and socialization and our program begins at 2 PM. As we expect a large turnout please RSVP to secure seating (215-886-0350).
