Ep. 15 Dr. Rachelle Kritzer | Shining Light on Shadows: The Importance of Community Support (NAMI, etc.)


Please join me and my co-host, Dawn Helmrich Neuburg, for the 15th episode of “Shining Light on Shadows: A Candid Conversation About Mental Health.” Our guest will be Dr. Rachelle Kritzer, a New York State-Licensed Psychologist with over 30 years experience.


This episode will focus on the importance of community support. As a school psychologist, Dr. Kritzer helped her students and their families access services in the community mental health and developmental disability systems. Currently, she is a consulting psychologist for ARC Westchester where her psychological evaluations help qualify clients for community programs.


On a personal level, she has found the local NAMI family/friends education program and monthly NAMI parent support groups to be very helpful.


We’ll be live Thursday, September 12 at 7pm ET / 6pm CT / 4pm PT. If you can’t watch the show live, you can watch the recording at your convenience on this website or the links below.

Dawn and I launched this twice a month show (the 2nd and 4th Thursdays of the month) in order to help reduce the stigma associated with mental health. In the coming weeks and months, we’ll be joined by friends and colleagues who are working through or have worked through their own challenges, practitioners who can speak to some of the issues faced by their clients and advocates who can talk about a range of different issues.


The show is produced by Digimentors on a pro bono basis.
