The 2022 Norman Vincent Peale Awards
Join us in Celebrating Mental and Spiritual Health
Blanton-Peale Institute & Counseling Center is proud to host and present the 2022 Norman Vincent Peale Awards for Positive Thinking. This event, a key fundraiser and celebration of the work of Blanton-Peale Institute & Counseling Center, raises critical funds in support of Blanton-Peale’s urgent work to provide mental health care to people throughout New York City and to raise up the next generation of mental health professionals. The awards will be in-person on Monday, October 24 at Tribeca Rooftop in Manhattan.
About the Awards
Dr. Peale, after whom the awards are named, founded Blanton-Peale, along with Dr. Smiley Blanton. The value he placed on positive thinking is in Blanton-Peale’s DNA and that’s what the awards celebrate. These tumultuous times have increased the urgency of Blanton-Peale’s promise to deliver affordable and accessible, holistic, and culturally-responsive mental health care to people throughout New York City. We are all recognizing the vital importance of mental health care and the Norman Vincent Peale Awards recognize individuals who exemplify the spirit of positive thinking that guided the founding of Blanton-Peale that is thriving today more than ever.
