Breaking the Silence Public Forum - Suicide Awareness and Resilience
6 – 9 pm
Cultural Arts Center Theater
A presentation and discussion for family members, educators, students, professionals and those whose lives have been impacted by mental health and/or substance abuse issues.
About Our Speakers:
Marianne Goodman, MD, is a Professor of Psychiatry at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and full time VA clinical research physician at the James J. Peters VA (JJPVA) for twenty years. She is the director and developer of the JJPVA Suicide Research and Clinical Program since 2010. Considered one of the foremost suicide prevention experts in the VA system, she is actively engaged in clinical care, research and education. Her research efforts focus on novel treatment development, including psycho-therapy, medication and tele-health approaches, in conjunction with biomarker studies. In recognition of Dr. Goodman’s exceptional achievements in the management of high risk suicidal and emotionally dysregulated Veterans, borderline personality disorder and delivery of dialectical behavior therapy, she has been honored with numerous prestigious awards. Dr. Goodman is also involved with education for non-VA primary care and mental health clinicians regarding Veteran suicide risk. She served as President of the North American Society for the Study of Personality Disorders from 2015 to 2018.
Colleen Casey Johnson is a suicide survivor, who has been in recovery for 31 years. She credits “32 years of intense psychotherapy with an outstanding psychiatrist,” medication and TMS for her remission from major depressive disorder, completion of the work of integration from dissociative identity disorder, and almost total elimination of the suicidal ideation that began in childhood. Her personal experience of suicides among close family members and a childhood riddled with violence and abuse, have helped guide her lifelong work in human services - first in homes with dysfunctional parenting and then as an inspector of child day care homes and abuse in NYSOCFS registered child day care facilities. She then was residential facility manager for ARC (for differently abled adults). Since retiring, Colleen has run her own daycare program. She serves on the NAMI-NYS Board of Directors and is an ardent mental health and TMS advocate, actively engaged in suicide prevention education and support.
