AN EXCELLENT OPPORTUNITY AT STONYBROOK UNIVERSITY


In Recognition of World Suicide Prevention Day

Suicide Prevention Coalition of LI and RESPONSE of Suffolk County, Inc

Present

 “Here One Day”

Followed by a Q&A with Producer and Director, Kathy Leichter.


Thursday September 10, 2015   5:30 pm – 8:00 pm 

Wang Center Theater -- Stony Brook University

 



When filmmaker Kathy Leichter moved back into the apartment she grew up in after her mother’s suicide, she discovered a hidden box of audiotapes. Sixteen years passed before she had the courage to delve into this trove, unearthing details that her mother had recorded about every aspect of her life from the challenges of her marriage to a New York State Senator, to her son’s estrangement, to the highs and lows of living with bipolar disorder. HERE ONE DAY is a visually arresting, emotionally candid film about a woman coping with mental illness, her relationships with her family, and the ripple effects of her suicide on those she loved.

 

“Here One Day” provides an incredible opportunity for our community to come together and discuss personal and professional experiences, to trade resources and information, to learn, support, grow and heal.  Come experience this beautiful work of art and join in much-needed community conversation.
