The Community Relations department is PIW's liaison to the community. We educate families, patients
and health care professionals about our resources, help clinicians and family members navigate the
admissions process, provide informal informational seminars, and bring speakers to schools, clinics,
and agencies. Our Grand Rounds series provides workshops on cutting edge topics of interest to
professionals working in mental health. From patients to PhDs, members of the community have cited
how expert PIW is providing both information and treatment. Keeping close contact with people in a
variety of venues helps us to be responsive by developing those services and products that meet the
changing needs of the community and to fulfill PIW's prime mission - insuring the patient's well-being
and satisfaction.
PIW's Community Relations Department is charged with coordinating the professional and consumer
education series that covers a multitude of mental health topics. Our overall objectives are to:
-
Provide the general public with comprehensive information about PIW's services and a better
understanding about current mental health issues

-
Provide advocacy for families and patients by making our patient's well-being and satisfaction
our number one priority
