Veteran Mental Health Panel Discussion
On 5/20/25, our Veterans Committee held a Veterans panel for Mental Health Awareness Month. At the “What Helps, What Doesn’t” event, Veterans spoke candidly about their own experiences with mental health services as well as experiences of their peers. This frank and open discussion with clinicians provided participants with information on how best to engage and work with Veterans of different eras.
Special thanks to St. Vincent’s Hospital - Harrison for hosting and Dr. Jennifer Spitz for moderating our event with our incredible panelists: FSW’s Vet2Vet Director Gabriel DiCola, NAMI Westchester Board member and Active Duty service member Carleen Ybarra and Westchester Veterans Alliance Chairman and COL, Ret. (NY Guard), ENFN (U.S. Navy) & Vietnam Combat Veteran Chester Edwards.
