SCI Greene held its 4th Annual Mental Health Awareness Day on May 15. More than 180 inmates attended both the morning and afternoon sessions. Art, poetry and essay exhibits concerning mental illness were on display for the event. Information was provided from the Veteran's Group, Peer Specialists, Reentry Services and Alternative Therapies (such as music, art, humor, spirituality and pet therapy from Canine Partners for Life). Guest speaker Ari Gunzeberg spoke to the participants about his own life experiences and discussed how to make better decisions. He ended with a brief question-and-answer session. SCI Greene staff did a great job coordinating this successful event.
