Meet Lisa*

We found something unique with Penn Foundation. Penn Foundation’s Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) team helped us to create a safe home for ourselves and our beloved dog. The team treated us with respect and kindness and considered our needs and capabilities when helping us secure a residence.

ACT also helped to guide me back to the me that had gotten lost. The team helped me to focus on some life issues that I needed to address. I made appointments with doctors and dentist, communicated with family and friends, and worked on skills that I put aside until I was in a stable living situation. I once again had goals, which was life-affirming. ACT is my safe place.

I would say that Penn Foundation:

• Rescues people, coming into their lives during difficult times and bringing them back to a place of stability
• Repairs people, working in partnership with people to address their challenges and heal their pain
• Renews them, helping to relieve burdens and scars and re-establish a meaningful life
• Remains, always being a steady presence for those in need

In the chaos of our world, Penn Foundation is a safe, reliable place of hope for those who are struggling.
