The Lise J. Fiato Fundamental Follies Theatre Company
Each Spring the Lise J. Fiato Fundamental Follies Theater Company presents an original play. The show is a testimony to what people with a mental health diagnosis can achieve. The dynamics of theatre, including writing, acting, singing, and dancing serve as a nontraditional avenue of dedication to process as well as a unique opportunity for communication and collaboration between providers and recipients.
Utilizing a satirical theme allows us all to look at ourselves in a refreshingly different light and to inject the crucial element of humor into the serious business of recovery.
The SHIP Fall Conference
An annual event open to all community consumers and human service professionals. Conference themes are varied and speakers represent both the provider and consumer prospective.
The theme of the past few years has been a Fall Fashion Show. The theme within the theme, has been to try and balance the serious and light hearted aspects of who we are as human service professionals, clients, and members of the community. The show has been a celebration of the spirit.
This year we are holding a Community Forum, Breaking the Cycle, addressing issues and oppurtunities with the mental health and criminal justice systems.
Author/journalist Pete Earley will be the keynote speaker.
