Andrew Romanoff, President and CEO of Mental Health Colorado, will be our guest speaker. Part of the mission of Mental Health Colorado is to educate the public and reduce the stigma that surrounds mental illness. Andrew Romanoff will discuss with us his knowledge about the nature and prevalence of mental illness, the benefits of early intervention, and the consequences of inaction.  (Mental illness expresses itself in many ways, affecting many of us directly. Today,  the connection between mental illness and the violence we’ve been conversing about couldn’t be more obvious.) Please join us and bring your friends and neighbors.
