Northeast Guidance Center (NEGC) will host its 43rd Annual Meeting on Thursday, November 2, 2006 at the Detroit Yacht Club, on Belle Isle in Detroit.  Meeting highlights include Congresswoman Carolyn Cheeks-Kilpatrick as the keynote speaker and presentations of two community health awards:  Joseph Young, Sr. Leadership Award and the Barbara Wicking Knight Philanthropy Award.   Annually NEGC honors individuals serving as an advocate or professional and organizations with significant contributions to community mental health, the agency, and/or its clients with a commitment and awareness of behavioral health issues. 

Since 1963, NEGC has been committed to innovative, community-based services to children, adults and their families – promoting total wellness with an emphasis on mental health.  Located on Detroit’s far eastside and its neighboring communities, it provides high quality care to children and their families and to chronic mentally ill adults to help them achieve maximal independence and health.  NEGC has grown into a comprehensive behavioral health care organization providing outreach, prevention, mental health and substance abuse services to over 5,000 individuals annually.
