Hedwig House Inc.

Hedwig House Inc. Hedwig House, Inc. provides comprehensive psychiatric rehabilitation services to residents of Montgom was formed in 1976.

Hedwig House began its existence on October 1, 1975, with the guidance, support and direction of three women with a commitment to bring service to people with mental illness and a sincere and abiding interest in their quality of life and recovery: Lois Jahsmann, Patricia Kind, and Naomi Dank. Based on Loisโ€™ experience with a program in England called Places for People, the original program focused on the housing needs of individuals with mental illness in Norristown, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. It has since evolved into comprehensive, client-centered programming offering Psychiatric Rehabilitation and rental subsidy services throughout Montgomery County. While initially a component of the Central Montgomery County Mental Health / Mental Retardation Center, a separate Board of Directors under the name of Hedwig House, Inc. The new organization contracted with the Montgomery County Office of Mental Health, Mental Retardation, Drug and Alcohol, and Behavioral Health to provide services to mental health consumers. This proactive and creative action introduced a Recovery-focused rehabilitation service which complimented community treatment services and, at the time, had only a few counterparts throughout Pennsylvania or the nation. In retrospect, it was the precursor of the broad Psychiatric Rehabilitation initiative introduced statewide throughout Pennsylvania.

We had a really great time attending Rep. Matt Bradford's Family Fair last week at the Elmwood Park Zoo! We passed out a bunch of back-to-school items that were collected as a part of our Healthier You Community Campaign. We also enjoyed some tasty snacks and walking around the zoo to see the animals they had out for the event. Overall, it was a great experience meeting with community members, supporting local families, and benefiting from the great giveaways and experience provided by Bradford's office and the zoo!

We greatly appreciate Rep. Steve Malagari and his staff for having us at their annual Senior Fair last week. Our members enjoyed meeting other people from the community and talking about Hedwig House's Services. We distributed hygiene supplies and snacks to community members to further our Healthier You Community Campaign. The members who volunteered for the event are also seniors themselves, so they were able to pick up information about local resources and a bunch of free giveaway items - including some delicious snacks and coffee provided by the hosts. We really appreciate their efforts and look forward to attending again next year!

Last week, we had another Ice Cream Social with our members, staff, board members, local politicians and their offices, and members of the broader community - this time at our Lansdale building with members from Lansdale and Norristown areas. Our members enjoyed games, socializing with community members, giving tours, discussing their experiences at Hedwig House, and, most importantly, eating tasty ice cream and water ice from Petrucci's Ice Cream.

We are grateful to those that attended as well as for the ongoing support from the local community. A special thanks to our guests: Staff from the offices of Senator Maria Collett and Rep. Matt Bradford, staff from Norristown School District, as well as our board member Suzanne from JL Freed Honda. It was great to host a broad group of community partners!
