Henderson Mental Health Center receives Bears for
Young Clients from Florida Society of Enrolled Agents

The Florida Society of Enrolled Agents collected over 2,000 teddy bears at their recent convention in Jacksonville, FL.  The Broward County Chapter of Enrolled Agents brought home over 100 of the bears to share them with local children who would give them a good home.  Henderson Mental Health Center was glad to accept over 30 of these cuddly bears on behalf of the many children who are helped by their numerous youth programs.

Debra Goldman, Program Supervisor for two of Henderson’s 18 programs in their Youth and Family Services division, explained just a few of the programs that are provided to children who suffered from mental illness.  Over thirty Enrolled Agent members were pleased to know that young Henderson clients would welcome the huggable stuffed animals with open arms.  Out of the 20,000 clients that Henderson Mental Health Center treated last year, over one-third of them were children. 

Diana Molina, President of the Broward Chapter of the Florida Society of Enrolled Agents, was pleased to arrange for their members to learn more about Henderson’s Youth and Family programs and encouraged Ms. Goldman and Karen Drumheller, Director of Development for Henderson Mental Health Center, to come back to educate them about other programs provided to the community, including volunteer opportunities where their group can help with Henderson’s needs.

For more information about Henderson Mental Health Center, please call Karen Drumheller at 954-777-1624.  For more information about the Florida Society of Enrolled Agents, please call 1-800-422-3732.
