August 2nd, 2010ECT Conference a success ~ and other summer fun…
July 23rd, 2010Welcome back! Sorry I’ve been away for a while ~ Summer is keeping us busy! On July 15th, we offered a mini-conference on ECT at Carrier, presented by our own Dr. Mehta and Melissa Curcy. We also had a presentation by Carol Kivler, who told us about her own experience with ECT treatment. The seminar was a success – lots of questions, and a lot of information was shared. Particularly touching was Carol’s personal accounts of ECT. You can check out her book and website at www.courageousrecovery.com for more information on her story. Thank you to Dr. Mehta, Melissa and Carol for an outstanding event! (Below is a photo of Carol and Melissa).
Yesterday we had the fantastic opportunity to do a taping for New Jersey 12’s Pet Stop show about Carrier Clinic’s Pet Therapy program. Angela Di Dolce, Clinical Supervisor at our East Mountain School, brought her therapy dog Bardo to the taping. Bardo was, as usual, well-behaved and lovable, and Angela did a great job explaining our Pet Therapy program to Dr. Brian T. Voynick, the Vet who hosts the show. We encourage everyone to tune in THIS Saturday and Sunday, July 24th and 25th, at either 12:30 or 4pm to catch our segment. I’ve posted a few pictures of our visit to News 12 New Jersey. Bardo’s sister, Java, also came along for the ride.
Next Friday, July 30th, Carrier Clinic is sponsoring the Somerset Patriots Game – with Fireworks! The Patriots are playing the Bridgeport Bluefish, so it should be a great game. The Patriots are an affordable night-out for families, and we encourage everyone to come out on the 30th to support the team, and help Carrier celebrate 100 years in the community. Tickets for the Patriots are available at www.somersetpatriots.com. We’ll post pictures after the game, so check back in the beginning of August for my next post.

Celebrating 100 Years of Hope, Help and Healing
June 24th, 2010HAPPY 100th ANNIVERSARY, Carrier Clinic!
Well, we did it! Carrier turned 100 years young on Wednesday, June 16th.
Sorry for not posting sooner, but we had quite a party for our employees on the 16th – A full barbeque cookout with games and prizes. Thank you to all of the staff at Carrier who worked so hard to make sure it was a wonderful day!
You may have noticed a few 100 year anniversary ads in the Courier News, Star Ledger and Montgomery News recently, as well. We’re proud of our heritage, but we could not have accomplished such a milestone without our community members who offer their continual support. So thank you!
We’ve had a busy few weeks at Carrier – on June 8th
we hosted the Somerset County Business Partnership Networking Lunch. The food and decorations were great (we had a country-fair theme which was very fitting) and we had approximately 85 people in attendance. Thank you to Diana Sieberg and the team at SCBP for making the day a success! I’ve even attached some pictures of the event below.
As we get ready for July, we are excited about a few of our upcoming events: On the 12th, Kristin Carr, MA, is presenting “Improving your Memory” at the Franklin Township Library in Somerset – we hope you’ll come out for this free presentation. On July 15th, we are offering a mini-conference on ECT at Carrier, presented by our own Dr. Mehta and Melissa Curcy. In addition, we have a presentation by Carol Kivler, who will tell us about her own experience with ECT treatment. The cost is $25 and breakfast and 2.5 credits are available. Details for both events are at: http://www.carrierclinic.org/events.php

Welcome, summer!
June 1st, 2010
Thank you for visiting – I hope everyone had a safe and relaxing holiday weekend!
While some may be starting to relax a bit in anticipation of the summer season, we have been gearing up for an exciting, eventful summer. We’ve planned quite a few events to celebrate our 100th anniversary.
But first, I’d like to thank everyone who attended our Evolution and Innovations in Mental Health Treatment. I believe those in attendance would agree that it was an informative and entertaining day! Thank you to our distinguished speakers: Drs. Debra Wentz, Richard G. Petty and Theresa Miskimen and Angela DiDolce, Kristin Carr, Anthony Cartusciello, Sarah Geser, and Kathy Krupa. I’ve attached pictures of some of our speakers, above - if you attended our May 12th event, and would like to leave a comment about your experience, please do so below!
On June 8, we are hosting the Somerset County Business Partnership for a noontime networking opportunity – if you do business in Somerset County, this is the place to be! You can go to the partnership’s website at http://events.scbp.org to register.
And on June 16, we are having an employee celebration on campus – it’s our actual 100 year anniversary – and we’re thrilled to celebrate with our employees who really do provide the best care for those who come to us with psychiatric and addictive disorders.

The more things change, the more they remain the same (Alphonse Karr)
March 23rd, 2010Welcome to our new website!
I thought that the quote above was a fitting way to start Carrier’s first-ever blog entry.
As we celebrate our 100th anniversary this year, we are changing – evident with a new updated logo and website, a 14 acre solar array that is powering 50% of our campus, and a new media campaign including commercials for cable, radio, print ads, billboards and transit.
