CareLink has a long history of
providing a range of arts programming to build communities through art and
create an appreciation of the arts among people with mental illness. The
programs are supported by generous funding from Pennsylvania Council on Arts.
CareLink was founded in 1959 in
Landsowne, Pa. to provide people living with mental illness a progressive
alternative to the revolving door of hospital care. CareLink’s philosophy is
that people with disabilities can live, work and participate in the community
with independence if they have caring support and help learning essential
skills. The organization’s services embody the principles of psychosocial
rehabilitation which promote achievable outcomes, community integration and
highly individualized care. CareLink serves more than 800 adults in 28
community programs in Southeastern Pennsylvania and Southern New Jersey.
