November 9

Our partner in bringing Erased to the community was NAMI - the National Alliance on Mental Illness. NAMI has numerous resources for individuals and organizations - including a program to advance mental health in the workplace NAMI Stigma free.

Erased... Elections... Events...

We had more than 200 people attend the US debut of Erased - a stunning documentary about the former High Point Hospital created by accomplished filmmaker Jill Yesko. The film screening was bookended by a compelling exhibit hosted by the PC Historical Society and followed by a panel discussion featuring experts in mental health care and services, a former High Point patient, and Westchester County Legislator Nancy Barr.

When the film ended, you could hear a pin drop. It was a tough watch intended to help break through stigma and promote conversation around mental health - at home, in the community, and in the workplace. We are grateful to all who helped to bring this conversation to our community and share a few photos with our readers. We will announce when the film is available to all.

Congratulations to all the newly-elected and re-elected public officials in Westchester County. We are looking forward to continuing to work with you for the benefit of our commerce community as we all strive to make this area a great place to invest and do business.

As usual, I hope that you will take the time to check out the valuable resources and participation opportunities we have for you - including our next networker on Nov. 20, and an invitation to our holiday cocktail party on Dec 16!

And finally, on November 11 and every day - we thank all veterans for your service and honor you for your sacrifices known and unknown.

Thank you, Camela
