At
its 40th Anniversary Celebration/Annual Meeting, the Cuyahoga
County Community Mental Health Board (CCCMHB) presented its
most prestigious award—the Kathleen Burton Memorial
Award to Beth Ann Reid, R.G., Manager of Client Services of
Adult Guardianship Services. This award was created to
honor the life of Mrs. Kathleen Burton, a psychiatric nurse
and active member of the CCCMHB who passed away in 1998. This
award is open to mental health professionals who have exemplified
a strong dedication and compassion to caring for people living
with mental illness.
Ms.
Reid has been with AGS for nine years. As Manager of Client
Services Beth oversees all intakes, assignment of cases, and
coordinates with the Probate Court. She uses the restrictions
of guardianship to motivate her wards. She advocates aggressively
for the least restrictive living environment and the highest
degree of independence that each individual is capable of
having.
Beth
has high expectations for her colleagues and leads by example.
She was one of the first in Ohio to become a registered guardian
by the Center for Guardianship Certification. AGS is proud
to recognize Beth for her outstanding leadership to AGS and
to the improvement of guardianship services in Ohio.
