And the Winner is ....

The Mental Health Association in Pennsylvania (MHAPA) and Pennsylvania Mental Health Consumers' Association (PMHCA) are pleased to announce that Demi Anne Dennis from Kingston, PA has been selected as the recipient of the 2012 Glenn Koons Scholarship. The funds associated with this scholarship will cover the registration cost for the Certified Peer Specialist (CPS) training.

Demi Anne has been in recovery for over a year. During this time, she has become actively involved in her community. She is the Secretary of the Association for the Community of At-Risk Baby Boomers in Wilkes Barre and is actively involved with Ruth's Place Women's Shelter, the Kirby Family House, First Steps, and Volunteers of America.

Following completion of her CPS training, Demi Anne plans to provide peer support for the individuals she encounters in her volunteer efforts to share with them that there is hope in recovery and people can and do turn their lives around.
