Horizon House is proud to team with Philadelphia City Councilman Curtis Jones, Jr. and other West Philadelphia-based nonprofits and businesses for the upcoming West Philly Health Fair and Holiday Giveaway on Saturday, Dec. 16.

We will be on hand to provide information and resources on our services to members of the local community. There will also be health screenings and other resources available from other numerous organizations.

And, starting at 1 p.m., Jolly Old St. Nick himself, Santa Claus, will arrive to hand out gifts to the children in attendance and conduct raffles for gift baskets for the adults on hand.

All members of the community are welcome! Spread the word and join us for a day of fun Holiday cheer!

 

We are beyond excited to share with you CBS Philadelphia’s feature story that aired on Horizon House participant Renee.

Renee is a Behavioral Health Services participant who attends group sessions at our Providence House location in Delaware County. She has struggled with mental illness for the better part of 40 years, but is now using her experiences and recovery to help others through her published self-help books.

Not only that, Renee is also using the books to give back to those who have helped her. She will not be taking any profit from her newest book, which was released on Amazon on Nov. 1. Instead, she intends to give back to the places that have helped her in her recovery.

You can see Renee’s story by clicking here.

We are so proud of you, Renee! Thank you for having the courage to tell your inspiring story!

 

We are extremely proud to share that Horizon House’s own Marcie, our Regional Director for Behavioral Health Services, presented a workshop in front of 350 attendees at the recent Direct Support Professionals Conference, hosted by The Philadelphia Alliance of Community Services Providers.

Marcie’s workshop, entitled Social Determinants of Health (SDoH) 101: Learning How to Connect the Dots, focused on identifying and addressing Social Determinants of Health (SDoH) that impact those within the Serious Mental Illness (SMI) community at a higher rate. During the workshop, Marcie focused on informing attendees how to increase service outcomes by incorporating SDoH screening tools in their Intake process, so staff can develop robust recovery plans.

Marcie is a longtime member of the Horizon House family who has made an impact on both our organization and our participants over the years. Not only does she have a wealth of knowledge, but she also has a tremendous spirit for service.

Great job, Marcie!

Staff from across Horizon House sported their best pink outfits recently during Wear Pink Day, which supports Breast Cancer Awareness across the United States.

Thank you to all who supported the cause!

We were honored to be recognized at the Philadelphia Eagles game vs. Miami this past Sunday night as one of the Eagles Redzone Community Partners of the Week!

Sponsored by our great supporter Philadelphia Insurance Companies, this program recognizes nonprofits doing great work in communities around the Philadelphia region. We joined friends PA Youth Vote and The Arc of Delaware at the Linc to hand out info on our services and head out to the field to be recognized in front of a sold-out crowd.

And, of course, the Eagles won! A great day for all of us!

Last week, Council Rock School North High School SHARE Club members arranged bags of personal hygiene supplies that were then donated to Horizon House and our participants.

The students and parents in attendance learned about who Horizon House serves, what services are provided and how they can help members of the community in need. Items donated included toothpaste, toothbrushes, deodorant, shampoo, laundry pods and women’s personal care supplies.

Thank you, students, for a great donation!

We are thrilled to share some exciting news with you from our Providence House location.

Great job, everyone!
