2019 Citizen of the Year
The 2019 SCCCMH Citizen of the Year, Laraine Desmond, was honored at the “Mental Health Matters Benefit” held at Longfellows Restaurant on May 1, 2019.
Laraine Desmond has provided direct care for hundreds of severely mentally ill individuals during her 30-year career working with Transitional Services Association (TSA). For most of that time, Laraine has served as the Program Director for the Stonebridge Community Residence. She has served with integrity and commitment through more than a few transitions and changes that have seen within the field of mental health and at TSA. The stability, sincerity, and experience Laraine brings to her job is both substantial and significant. It is impossible to calculate the positive impact Laraine’s service has had on TSA residents over the years – it has literally been felt daily by people living with mental illness for her entire tenure at TSA. When asked about her work, Laraine said, “Often you hear people saying they love helping people, but I say I love the people I help. It is that simple.”
Laraine’s heartfelt approach has benefited so many clients during her decades of dedicated service to the mentally ill in Saratoga County. It is because of her enormous heart that so many have benefited from being under her care. Being selected as the 2019 SCCCMH Citizen of the Year is a well-deserved honor for Laraine.
