Fountain House presenters receiving recognition for their presentation by Malika Abrous
On April 10, 2025, 14 members and guests enjoyed an insightful presentation by John Delman and Rachel Weisman from the Fountain House. Millions of Americans living with serious mental illness are denied access to care and support in the community, and end up cycling through our streets, shelters, emergency rooms, and jails. For far too long our punitive, ineffective and costly approaches have taken away their capacity, dignity, and humanity. For more than 70 years, Fountain House has believed in people living with serious mental illness - who are our sons, daughters, mothers and fathers, friends and neighbors - and has proven that they can reach their goals and aspirations for a better life.
Members were impressed by the presentation and offered a lending hand with a possible benefit concert and a cooking class. Also, a visitation tour at the Fountain House was discussed.
After the official meeting Alexander Litvinov called a meeting of the newly created "Food Sospeso" project.
The members of the committee are shown below.
