Seven Counties Services’ board seeks to honor
those who help further Seven Counties’ mission
through cooperation and collaboration

As the safety net provider of mental health, developmental disability and substance abuse treatment and support services, Seven Counties appreciates and values those with whom it works together to serve those in need and to make our communities healthier, safer and better places to live. The strength of any effort, initiative, service or program comes not from one individual or organization, but from many people and organizations joining hands, bringing energy and ideas, and working together for a common good.

The board of directors of Seven Counties Services, Inc. is pleased and proud to announce that it is seeking nominations for what it expects will be an annual award. The Sunrise Award (Recognizing the capacity for growth, development and progress that can be achieved by working together) will recognize an individual or organization whose cooperation and collaboration during the last year have helped further the mission of Seven Counties Services. That mission is to improve the lives of people at risk or affected by mental illness, developmental disabilities, addictions and abuse.

Criteria for nomination is an individual who or organization that has demonstrated exceptional cooperation/collaboration with Seven Counties that helps further its mission, and thereby helped the populations its serves. The award is open to anyone or any organization on entity in Kentucky or elsewhere. Seven Counties' staff and board, however, are not eligible for the award. Anyone can make a nomination.

The award will be presented at the board of directors September meeting
