Kern County's (BHRS) held their ceremony to celebrate more than 50 individuals and groups who have shown hope and resilience in the face of mental health challenges. These inspiring stories have positively impacted Kern County's mental health community and are a shining example of what can be accomplished.

Rochelle Ramirez, the administrator at ÌÀÍ·Ìõapp's Bakersfield Recovery Station, was amongst the 50 nominated for these awards. The nominations are across five categories, honoring the inspiring stories of hope and resilience in our mental health community and the individuals behind them. These awards are just one of the ways the community is nurturing a system of care that supports recovery.

Rochelle was incredibly gratified to be nominated for the Hope Healing Life Award. This award is awarded to an individual whose actions embody Kern County's BHRS mission, vision, and values of working to help clients achieve hope and healing, and meaningful life in our community.

ÌÀÍ·Ìõapp is proud of Rochelle for how she helps foster hope and assist people in transforming their lives in the Kern County care system!
