Dowling College Helps Break the Silence About Mental Illness - Mental Illness Can Happen to Anyone…
OAKDALE, NY - In the past, the subject of mental illness was surrounded with mystery and fear. Today we realize understanding and support are powerful tools and can make a real difference in someone’s life.
Phi Delta Kappa at Dowling College presents Breaking the Silence, Teaching The Next Generation About Mental Illness on Monday, November 5, 2007 from 7:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. This event will feature Guest Speaker Lorraine Kaplan, BTS Director of Educational Outreach and will take place in the Fortunoff Hall Hunt Room at Dowling’s Rudolph Campus in Oakdale.
Lorraine Kaplan has a M.S. in Education from Queens College and holds state certifications in elementary education, special education, reading, and music. After more than 25 years of public school teaching, she retired to devote much of her time to teaching educators and students about mental illness. Mrs. Kaplan has coauthored “Breaking the Silence: Teaching the Next Generation about Mental Illness” and is the project’s Director of Educational Outreach. She lectures extensively in schools and to organizations to promote mental illness education and is on the boards of Aid to the Developmentally Disabled, and NAMI Queens/Nassau.
