Ending the Silence
There are three upcoming opportunities to hear the NAMI presentation, Ending the Silence. This presentation, offered through NAMI Westchester, will help youth learn to recognize signs of distress in themselves and friends, and where to find resources. It will help parents and supportive adults learn tools for approaching youth when they see signs of distress. It's the same presentation offered three time in three locations. All are open to the public:
