In the past 24 years, Dr. Jennifer F. Kelly has been working tirelessly to help mentally challenged individuals in her native town of Gulfport, Mississippi, Tallahassee, Florida, Houston, Texas, and Atlanta, Georgia. In addition to a private practice in Atlanta, Dr. Kelly has been actively involved in numerous professional and social organizations and has received several rewards for her outstanding services. She currently serves on the Board of Directors of the American Psychological Association.

Dr. Jennifer F. Kelly has been serving on the Board of Project Interconnections since 1996.  She has observed the changes around the public with mental illness in the Metro Atlanta area and what Project Interconnections has done for those in need. We asked Dr. Jennifer F. Kelly about her profession, her thoughts on the mental health issues, and her expectations for Project Interconnections.

The Department of Psychiatry at Emory University chose Project Interconnections to be a recipient of department donations for the holiday season.  Representatives from the department donated bed linens, blankets, towels, pillows and toiletry items – these items will be distributed to our residents before Christmas.

The department also contributed $700, which will be used to purchase gifts from our resident’s Christmas “wish list”.

A special thank you to Eve Byrd and Dr. Bill McDonald and the staff of the Fuqua Center for Late Life Depression for hosting a “trim the tree” party at Rosalynn Apartments for our residents.

We are very grateful to the Psychiatry Department for their generosity. On behalf of the staff and residents – THANK YOU!!!!

Thank you to all of the supporters that attended the Project Interconnections Fundraiser on May 13th. It was a wonderful event that not only raised awareness and money, but also renewed our energy to continue this essential work on the behalf of adults challenged with mental illness.

We would also like to acknowledge Mrs. Carter’s presence during the fundraiser. Her understanding words and warm kindness inspire all of us to keep looking for ways to make sure all people can live a life of dignity. Mrs. Carter was instrumental in helping PII get supportive housing started in the Atlanta area over 20 years ago. She continues to be a beacon of light for all of us.

Project Interconnections owes much of it's success to its outstanding partners. We would like to acknowledge the presence of Ms. Toole, President & CEO of Community Friendship Inc. With her leadership and dedicated teams, Project Interconnections is able to put its plan to work and help mentally challenged individuals in managing their daily life.

This event could not have happened without the continued generosity and support of Stan Jones and Nelson-Mullins. The venue that they provide for us each year is absolutely amazing. The resident art work and jewelry especially benefit from being shown in their space.

Additionally, special thanks goes out to all of the businesses and individuals that gave items for the silent auction. Many of these donors have been long-time contributors to PII. We are grateful for all gifts.

Lastly, without all the volunteer hours donated by the board of directors and friends, this event would simply not be possible. Their dedication to the organization cannot be measured.

With new energy and vision, Project Interconnections looks forward to continued growth and relationships with all of our supporters in the coming years.
