Kathy O’Neill - Executive Director Behavioral Health, Steward Health, Carney Hospital, Dorchester, MA
Since 1949, Mental Health Awareness Month has been observed in May by reaching millions of people through the media, local events, and screenings. Diamond’s employees play a large role in creating awareness of mental health needs and resources in their local communities. This year we are promoting Mental Health America’s “Risky Business” series. These flyers include risk factors such as prescription drug misuse, Internet addiction, and excessive spending.

Diamond Employees - The work you do is amazing and reaches further than you know. This was recently shared with us from a former patient of The Farley Center:
The partnership of Dallas-based firm SRP Medical and Diamond Healthcare Corporation of Richmond, VA has created a powerhouse locally in the mental health field.
On February 1, 2017 Diamond’s Reach Employee Assistance Program will have a new parent company.
"The EAP business has changed significantly over the last several years and the business model we have utilized no longer fits as well into Diamond’s long-term goals," said Richard Feldman, Diamond's President and CEO. "We selected AllOne Health because of their passion and dedication to employee assistance. We believe this acquisition will allow Reach to grow and realize a new potential in a very competitive environment."
Diamond congratulates Fredrick Dombrowski, PhD, therapist at Westchester Medical Center Behavioral Health Center, on getting his first official book chapter published in Vol. I of Metaphors and Therapy: Enhancing Clinical Supervision and Education.
