Four hundred guests supported Talbert House as the agency celebrated 40 years of service to the community on Monday, March 20 at the Hilton Cincinnati Netherland Plaza. The event, with its 1960s theme, was chaired by Weiland and Yvonne Robertson and grossed over $260,000 – the agency’s most successful fundraiser to date. Talbert House, one of the region’s largest behavioral health and human services agencies, develops and delivers services in the areas of mental health, community corrections, substance abuse and welfare-to-work.
Since 1965, Talbert House’s mission is to be a progressive, multi-service, community-based nonprofit agency. Talbert House serves a broad population and develops and delivers services in mental health, community corrections, substance abuse and welfare-to-work. These services have two basic purposes: to improve social behavior and enhance personal recovery and growth.
