Lisa represented Belmont and our Specialized Treatment for Autism and Related Disorders (STAR) Program at this year’s Philadelphia Autism Project Conference at the Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University.

This year’s conference focused on autistic masking and its impact on mental health, identity, and belonging.

This week is Mental Illness Awareness Week, a national effort, established by Congress in 1990 thanks to the National Alliance on Mental Illness's advocacy, dedicated to raising awareness and fighting stigma around mental illness.

Mental health affects everyone. While 1 in 5 U.S. adults experiences a mental health condition each year, the impact reaches far beyond just the individual. It touches friends, family, coworkers, and everyone who supports them.

Mental health is something we all experience, manage, and need support with at different points in our lives. No one should have to face these challenges alone.

If you or a loved one is struggling, help is available.

On Sunday, Dave and Joe participated in the 2026 NAMI Bucks County PA Stride for Mental Health Awareness Walk! As a regular sponsor of this event, it’s so great to see so many community members come together for such an important cause year after year.

Hanging out with NAMI Man is just an added bonus 😉.

Last week, Lisa had the pleasure of attending the Recovery Cafe at the Community College of Philadelphia’s Northeast Regional Center!

The Recovery Cafe was hosted in collaboration with the Department of Behavioral Health and Intellectual disABILITY Services (DBHIDS) and CCP’s Collegiate Recovery program, creating a welcoming space to connect, share resources, and support recovery within the community.

Lisa is pictured below with Benjamin Moore from DBHIDS. We’re always grateful for opportunities to connect with community partners and be part of meaningful conversations around recovery and behavioral health.

During a few moments of downtime yesterday, we sat down with our Chief Clinical Officer, Dr. Adria Filmore, who has been part of the Belmont family for 16 years and has served as CCO for nearly four.

We asked her a simple question: In your own words, what exactly is the mission of Belmont's Partial Hospitalization Program?

Her answer perfectly fits the heart of the program:

"PHP allows folks to have the structure of a hospitalization while being able to stay in the community and go home where they feel most comfortable. It's about meeting the patient where they are at."

September is Su***de Prevention Month, a time to raise awareness, reduce stigma, and remind others that help is available. Mental health challenges can affect anyone, and reaching out
for support is a sign of strength.​

According to the CDC, an estimated 14.3 million U.S. adults seriously thought about su***de in 2024, highlighting the importance of connection, awareness, and access to care. ​

​Together, we can help create hope, encourage conversations, and remind others that they are not alone.
