BHcare To Host Panel Discussion on Mental Health

From BHcare:

On Thursday, April 21, Catchment Area Council 8 will be hosting a panel discussion on the effects of mental illness on communities, and specifically individuals and families.

This is a very timely subject with the budget cuts occurring and directly hitting service areas that will have an impact on mental health as well as the overdose deaths that have been prevalent in the news in the recent months.

Panelists include Peter Cimino, Director of Branford Counseling Center, Vitoria Molta, a peer from the South Central Peer Services in New Haven and Judy Murray, who is a parent and advocate from East Haven.

Light refreshments will be served and a Q&A will follow. The event is being held at the Branford Fire Department at 45 North Main St. and is free and open to the public.

The Catchment Area Council 8 is a committee of the Region (South Central) Regional Mental Health Board. Catchment Area Council 8 includes the towns of Branford, North Branford, East Haven, North Haven, Guilford and Madison.
