From Denial to Discussion: Mental Health Talk at Mattituck-Laurel Library

February 1, 10:30 am to 11:30 am

Free

Mattituck-Laurel Library is hosting a talk titled ‘From Denial to Discussion: Putting a Human Face on Mental Illness’ on Feb. 1, 2025, from 10:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. The talk will be led by mental health advocate and Mattituck resident Frank Pomata.

Frank will share his personal journey with mental illness, debunk common myths, provide tips on suicide prevention, and identify East End mental wellness resources. The aim is to shatter the silence around mental illness and stamp out the stigma, emphasizing that ‘it’s OK not to feel OK’ and encouraging people to seek help.

*Trigger Warning: Attendees should be aware this workshop will include discussion of suicide and suicide survival. If you find yourself experiencing emotional pain or discomfort, please call the 9-8-8 National Crisis and Suicide Hotline.*

The event is free to attend, but registration is required. You can register at www.mattitucklaurellibrary.org.
