In addition, on September 18, Howard Center will also support a day-long event, "Symposium on Psychiatry in the Third Reich," sponsored by the University of Vermont Miller Center for Holocaust Studies.
On June 27, gubernatorial candidates Matt Dunne, Peter Galbraith, Bruce Lisman, Sue Minter, and Phil Scott took part in a forum focused on “Community Health and Support Services.” The event was moderated by Peter Mallary, Vice President of Government Relations and Community Outreach for The Vermont Association for Mental Health and Addiction Recovery and was broadcast by Vermont PBS.
The forum was presented by Vermont Care Partners, the Vermont Association for Mental Health and Addiction Recovery, the VNAs of Vermont, the Vermont Association of Area Agencies on Aging, and the Community of Vermont Elders.
Charlotte McCorkel, Director of Crisis Integration was interviewed by WPTZ at a recent symposium on suicide prevention at the University of Vermont. McCorkel says, "We want to send a message that help is available for people who are struggling and there is hope for people in any kind of crisis."
In 2014, the Centers for Disease Control data shows Vermont ranked 7th among the states, with one of the highest suicide rates in the nation.
