On Monday, October 3, guests gathered at the Leidos Headquarters in Reston Town Center to support the GMU Center for Psychological Services, one of the only sites in the Mid-Atlantic to offer therapies on a sliding scale, enabling access to care for as low as $5 per session to children, adolescents, adults, and veterans.
More than 190 guests joined the in person Food for Thought event as we networked, listened to stories, supported the fund-a-need, and participated in the live and silent auction at the beautiful venue of our host sponsor, Leidos. After a year of celebrating this event virtually, it was heartwarming to see so many individuals, nonprofits, government agencies, and corporate partners who care about this important cause. The event raised more than $170,000 for the Center of Psychological Services, including the Jennifer DiMauro Honor Fund for Veterans, and the Ray Eck Youth Services Fund.
This incredible show of support allows us to continue our mission of offering affordable, accessible, and state-of-the-art mental health services to the community while training the next generation of ethical, competent, and culturally sensitive psychologists. We had the privilege of hearing powerful remarks during the program; you can find them here.
