In this helpful program, Patricia Gallagher, the author of No More Secrets A Family Speaks about Depression, Anxiety and Attempted Suicide will help attendees separate fact from fiction when it comes to the harmful stereotypes and damaging misinformation that surround mental illness. She illustrates how to identify the signs of stigma, counters some of the most popular myths about mental illness, and shows how everyone can help to challenge and eliminate the social distancing of people with mental health conditions. CareNotes are used as a discussion guide. Come alone or bring family members. All welcome. This workshop is free and open tho the public. Donations to Pillars of Light and Love are appreciated if you are able.

Pillars of Light and Love is a non-profit launched on March 2, 2015 by business owner Kathy Opperman. The main focus of the non-profit is Stress and Life Management for all ages. Our goal is to educate children, teens and adults to reduce stress, have strong self-esteem, overcome anxiety and depression, build confidence, and achieve better coping techniques, positive communication skills, and healthy relationships. We believe education will help bring awareness and improve the lives of those experiencing challenges such as depression, eating disorders, bullying, addictions, stress disorders, relationship issues, a difficult diagnosis, and emotional and physical abuse. Pillars of Light and Love offers educational workshops and is located at the Empowering U Center in Trappe, PA. Donations raised for Pillars fund many workshops and are used to provide free services at the Center such as Massage, Life Coaching, Emotional Freedom Technique, Myofascial Release and other Anxiety and Stress Relief services to those with serious illnesses, Caregivers of Special Needs children and adults, as well as Disabled Veterans. These services are also available to the general public. Applications for free services are acquired through Staff@PillarsofLightandLove.org.
