From Denial to Discussion: Putting a Human Face on Mental Illness

Join us for a talk by Mental Health Advocate and Mattituck resident Frank Pomata who will help "put a human face on mental illness" by sharing his journey with mental illness. He will also be debunking some common myths about persons with mental illness, provide tips on suicide prevention, and identify some East End mental wellness resources. It's time to shatter the silence around mental illness and stamp out the stigma so people realize "it's OK not to feel OK" and feel safer asking for help and know where to find it. *Trigger Warning: Attendees should be aware this workshop will include discussion of suicide and suicide survival.  If you find yourself experiencing emotional pain or discomfort, please call the 9-8-8 National Crisis and Suicide Hotline.*
