The Pastoral Counseling program is excited to announce a community event: Fellowship Through Spirituality to be held Sunday, September 12th from 10:00 a.m. – 12 p.m. on the Skyland Trail Campus.

Fellowship through Spirituality is open to clients, client families and friends, as well as staff. It will be a time of intentional community, with hands-on experiences through which participants have the opportunity to explore the role of spirituality by participating in music, horticulture, art and yoga rotation groups. The event aims to educate the public about mental illness, in order to reduce stigma. There will be time for refreshments and gathering as a community as well.

The Pastoral Counseling program at Skyland Trail seeks to address the spiritual aspects of a person’s recovery from mental illness. It works within the holistic recovery model, and is intended to support clients from any religious or spiritual background or belief system. We understand that a person’s spiritual beliefs are very personal and we seek to offer support to those who express an interest.

The Pastoral Counseling program is looking forward to welcoming clients, families and staff to Skyland Trail for this wonderful community event.

Welcome to Skyland Trail’s new Community Forum

Thursday, January 7th, 2010

On behalf of all us at Skyland Trail, welcome to our new Community Forum!  This section of our Web site allows us to keep you up-to-date on everything going on both at Skyland Trail and in the mental health world in general.  I’d like to invite you to visit our site for updates on clinical information, events, client activities, awards, new employees and much more.  We will also be keeping you abreast of new research findings and innovations in psychiatry.  While great strides have been made in heightening awareness about the importance of mental health care, the field is advancing daily – and we are compelled as an organization to educate and inform our clients and their families, our constituents, and the public on this changing field of knowledge.

Please feel free to comment on any of the information we provide in the Community Forum.  We value feedback from our constituents.  As we begin a new year, I’d like to thank each of you who has made Skyland Trail what is today.  My best to you in 2010!

Sincerely,

Beth Finnerty

President and CEO
