Congratulations to our 2016 SCHOLARSHIP WINNER - Emily Simone

Emily will be attending St. John's University to study Forensic Psychology


.... "My sophomore year of high school, I was introduced to mental illness. My friend opened up to me about her struggle with depression. She explained how hard it is for her to go about her day without feeling lonely. I asked if she's thought about receiving help. From her reaction, I realized how big of an issue the stigma of mental illness is.....
I have decided to go into a helping profession because I feel strongly about mental illness and want to help those struggling.
Through Forensic Psychology, I will be able to study how mental illness pushes people to the break. I want to help spread awareness and properly educate our society so we can end the stigma, helping mental illness appear less as a taboo...."
