Wylie Center Friend Greg Burchett Wins Award
The Wylie Center is happy to announce that Greg Burchett will receive a "Friend of Non-Profits" award at the annual Community Connect conference in September at the Riverside Convention Center for volunteering his time speaking in publicly about his family tragedy, the need for information on the warning signs of post-partum depression, and making the DVD for the Inland Empire Perinatal Mental Health Collaborative (IEPMHC). Due in no small part to his vocal support for IEPMHC and the need for more assessment and treatment for women with postpartum mood disorders, the Wylie Center was able to secure First 5 funding to provide mental health treatment and child care for women suffering from these disorders as well as a $99,000 Prevention and Early Intervention (PEI) grant to do advocacy in the community on this topic. Additionally, a collaborative partner on IEPMHC received a 1.2 million dollar grant from PEI to provide support groups for women. |
