PSYCHling 2006
Staff members Mark McSweeney and Elizabeth Eager of The Mental Health Center of Greater Manchester recently announced their participation in the 33rd Annual SeaCoast Century ride to benefit The Manchester Mental Health Foundation Endowment. The ride will be held September 23 and 24, 2006.
Staff members of MHCGM attribute their desire to ride for the endowment to their awareness of the unmet needs within the community for mental health services. McSweeney stated, “The 100 mile ride is certainly challenging, but my hope is that through this effort, more funds will be raised for children, adolescents and seniors in the community who are without the ability to pay for services that could improve their lives.”
The Mental Health Center of Greater Manchester is the largest outpatient mental health services provider in the state, serving the city of Manchester and surrounding communities of Auburn, Bedford, Candia, Goffstown, Hooksett, Londonderry and New Boston. Within the last five years, the need for mental health services has steadily grown throughout New Hampshire. Over 7,000 individuals were served in 2001 throughout the MHCGM systems of care, while nearly 9,000 were served this year.
The Manchester Mental Health Foundation Endowment was founded in 2001, in an effort to provide mental health services into the future for those in the community in need of care. All sponsorships from the Psych-ling for Mental Health Ride will directly benefit the MMH Foundation Endowment.
