On the evening of Wednesday, October 15, 2025 the Blanton-Peale Institute & Counseling Center hosted the 2025 Norman Vincent Peale Awards for Positive Thinking. During this very special celebration, we introduced new President & CEO, Dr. Shawna Aarons-Cooke, and honored two incredible mental health advocates: Chryssie Whitehead and Kirsten Wrinkle of In My Own Little Corner Productions.
An annual event, the Norman Vincent Peale Awards serves as the primary fundraiser and celebration of our mission, raising critical funds in support of Blanton-Peale’s urgent work to provide quality holistic mental health care, education, and training with global impact.
As we celebrate 88 years of empowering programs and services, we thank our Board of Trustees, Host Committee, Ambassadors, sponsors, donors, and attendees.
