At Wellspring, a nonprofit psychotherapeutic and educational center based in Bethlehem, Connecticut, employee loyalty and longevity are typical as the majority of employees have been with the organization for significant milestones – many spanning decades.

Since beginning in 1977 with only two employees, Co-Founders, Drs. Richard and Phyllis Beauvais, Wellspring has grown to a staff of approximately 140. This March, Wellspring honored eleven employees with service milestones. They included: Lori Kibbe and Peggy Rehkamp for 30 years of service; Jeff Culhane for 25 years of service; Cassandra Beauvais and Elizabeth ‘Liz’ Bunovsky for 20 years; Amy Langevin and Dawn Madigosky for 15 years; Maureen McCurdy for 10 years and Mirriah Murray, Jessica Smith and Krystyna Smith for 5 years. These employees have worked at Wellspring for a total of 180 years!

“Wellspring has continued to hire smart, caring people from our local communities who want to help provide hope and healing,” said Daniel Murray, Psy.D., Chief Executive Officer. “As a major employer in Bethlehem and the Northwest Hills, Wellspring and the Arch Bridge School are very lucky to have a truly great staff, who stay committed to our mission of building relationships to nurture, educate and heal. Staff turnover remains very, very low here, as the people who come to work for us see the great value in helping people change their lives.”
