LWWW Well Talk: There’s No Health Without Mental Health: It’s Time to End the Stigma and Spread Awareness

“There’s No Health Without Mental Health: It’s Time to End the Stigma and Spread Awareness”

Presentation by:
John T. Broderick, Jr., JD
Senior director External Affairs, D-H

With the following panel members:

• Mary K. Jankowski, PhD
  Director of Psychology Services, Department of Psychiatry
• Sivan Rotenberg, PhD
  Director of Embedded Services, Department of Psychiatry
• Carol Townsend, BSN, RN, CNML
  Director of Nursing for CGP, D-H
• Stephen T. Cole, PhD
  Manager, Employee Assistance Program, D-H
• Philip Adamo, M.D., MPH, FACOEM
  Section chief and medical director Occupational and Environmental Medicine, Employee Wellness, and Department of Employee Well-being, D-H

With COVID not quite in the rear view mirror, with vaccines on a slower track, and with the pressures our D-HH staff have been dealing with, we want to continue to bring the message of understanding, hope and open discussion to spread awareness and reduce stigma related to the care of our mental health.

John Broderick and D-HH’s R.E.A.C.T. campaign goals are simple, timely and important: to make the five most common signs of mental illness as well and widely known as the signs of a heart attack or stroke, and to teach people how to react when they recognize the signs of mental illness in someone they know or love.

With support from D-HH, John Broderick willingly shares his family’s mental health journey and highlights the struggles posed by mental illness for so many families. This program will also host a panel of highly invested D-H staff who work to reduce the stigma associated with mental health.
