MAY IS MENTAL HEALTH MONTH!

Former New York First Lady Matilda Cuomo and the board of the Mental Health Foundation welcomed Tipper Gore, wife of former United States Vice president Al Gore to Albany for a reception at the Fort Orange Club on Tuesday evening, May 5. The event coincided with the beginning of Mental Health month. Mrs. Cuomo serves on the Foundation Board.
The event helped deliver an important message about recognizing and treating mental illness without stigma. Both Mrs. Gore and Mrs. Cuomo have been strong advocates for mental health issues throughout their public lives, and are especially concerned about issues involving children and young adults.
The evening was a fundraiser for the foundation’s endowment fund which will be focused on projects encouraging young people that “It’s Okay to Talk About It.”
