President & Founder at Frank Ridge Memorial Foundation, Inc. - New York, New York, United States
The Frank Ridge Memorial Foundation is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to living well with mental health conditions through awareness and understanding. We provide unique series of learning seminars entitled "Connecting Dots" and a user-friendly, resource rich website at: www.frankridgememorialfoundation.org.Mental illness* does not discriminate. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) at least one in three of us will be impacted by a mental health condition, within our lifetimes, significantly enough to impair daily functioning, socially, behaviorally and/or academically/vocationally. Untreated mental health conditions can cost lives. Whether the individual is you, someone you love or care for, your co-worker or neighbor, mental health is everyone's business. [*Mental illnesses include: anxiety, ADHD, bipolar, depression, autism, eating disorders (e.g. anorexia and bulimia), addiction, psychosis, posttraumatic stress disorder, dementia & Alzheimers.]
