Roseann Bennett is a trailblazer when it comes to addressing the issues of mental health for all individuals no matter what their age is, background, or financial means. For nearly 11 years, she has been a marriage and family therapist, being responsible for case management, crisis management, and treatment planning for hundreds of clients because she is the co-founder and executive director of the Center for Assessment and Treatment, a non-profit mental health clinic in Hackettstown, New Jersey.
Roseann Bennett develops mental health programs that are relevant to the many people that she serves, and one of the issues she works hard to change is how people view mental health therapy, and at the same time, making treatment accessible for all people. Bennett and the staff at the Center for Assessment and Treatment receive no funding for the mental health services they provide, but still, they are committed to helping all the people who live in the community lead healthy lives.
Roseann Bennett Advocates to Philanthropy and especially strives to help the children of her community, so she added canine-assisted therapy to the list of services and treatments that the Center offers. This idea came about while working with children because she realized that Canine-Assisted Therapy would benefit them as dogs have a calming effect on kids. Because dogs do not judge children, the child experiences acceptance which makes them feel comfortable and that is a pivotal step in helping children participate in their treatment. Children who need assistance can relax with dogs, which convinces them to lower their guard, and that’s essential to the success of the therapy.
Roseann Bennett holds an MA and Ed.S. in marriage and family therapy as a graduate from Seton Hall University. She also has an LMFT (licensed marriage and family therapist) certificate and has earned a post master’s certification from the REACH Institute as a cognitive behavior therapist. Bennett also holds certificates as a Clinical Trauma Professional and a Child and Adolescent Trauma Professional.
