Another attack on innocent people, frankly, what can we do as citizens to protect the greater community from individuals who in this case prepared and plan today attack ? Wednesday evening I attended a Gala Benefit at New York City Center. The program was great as always, Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater. All I could think about while reviewing the wonderful looking people attending, maybe here. However the great performance kept my negative thinking on the back burner.

The Opening Gala brought out some of New York City premier benefactors among other supporters. I had the opportunity to meet in person New York City first lady Ms Chirlane McCray. We discuss briefly, the Thrive Program and my need to become a consultant base on my work as a advocate for military and public safety personnel with mental Health Issues. “I have stated time and time again. Education and proactive activity can curtail incidents that appear to be produce by person/s who are mental Ill.

Lets obtain the facts before we stigmatize mental Illness once again. Request supporters of the mental health community to review ” Pick A Veteran To Treat Facebook.”  Review about, maybe by partnering we can prevent” Kill Wednesday.”
