Wheelock - Nardi Advocacy Award Senator Donna Soucy

About the Wheelock-Nardi Advocacy Award

The Wheelock-Nardi Advocacy Award was named in honor of former NH Hospital Superintendent Major Wheelock and former State Representative Theodora Nardi. The pair coauthored the 1982 Wheelock-Nardi Report, which became the blue print for the shift from institutional to communitybased system of behavioral healthcare in New Hampshire.

The Wheelock-Nardi Advocacy Award is presented to an individual or organization who exemplifies a high standard of commitment and advocacy for those with mental illness.

Senator Soucy’s Advocacy Role Senator Soucy was nominated for this prestigious award due to her help and support in passing legislation to allow for mental health services to be conducted via Telehealth. Senator Soucy worked hard to legislate changes to NH Medicaid Laws starting in 2016, paving the way for Telehealth services to be a covered expense for individuals living in metropolitan service areas, such as Manchester, NH. MHCGM immediately started offering limited Telehealth services, which positioned The Center to quickly pivot to provide remote services for thousands of children and adults during the COVID-19 Pandemic. Due to that effort, service-oriented businesses such as The Mental Health Center of Greater Manchester were able to provide services to individuals in our community who depend on vital behavioral health services.

Donna Soucy is the NH State Senator representing District 18, which includes five Manchester wards and the Town of Litchfield.

Her public service includes three terms as a State Representative, two terms as a Manchester Alderman, nearly four terms on the Manchester School Board, and serving as the first female chair of the Manchester Fire Commission. Senator Soucy was elected President of the New Hampshire Senate on December 5, 2018, and was elected Senate Minority Leader on November 6, 2020.

Donna was named Legislator of the Year by the New Hampshire Coalition against Domestic and Sexual Violence (2014) and by the New Hampshire Association of Social Workers (2016).

Honorees are selected for their involvement in business, civic, philanthropic, artistic, or cultural activities that enhance the quality of life and wellness of our citizens.

Jeffrey Seifert’s Leadership Role The Mental Health Center of Greater Manchester is pleased to recognize Jeffrey Seifert for his community service and activism.

Jeffrey is a leader in the NH banking community and currently serves as the Regional Vice President for TD Bank, where he manages the southern New Hampshire commercial banking team. Jeff is an active member of the community who currently serves on the boards of NH Musculoskeletal Institute, NH State Board of Accountancy, and Waypoint.
