The Mental Health Association in Indian River County attended Mental Health America’s 2019 Annual Conference this June. The CEO of the MHA in Indian River, Dr. Nicholas Coppola, was approached by Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Inc. to participate in an Advisory Board Meeting on the opening day of the convention.
At the “Major Depressive Disorder with Active Suicidal Ideation Advocacy” Advisory Board, Dr. Coppola was able to speak about the MHA in Indian River County and how he is dealing with issues surrounding depression and suicide. Dr. Coppola told the board and all who attended about the MHA in Indian River County’s High School Violence and Suicide Prevention Program that was recently completed in April 2019.

I loved hearing the different perspectives and knowledge the other members had to offer,” said Dr. Coppola. “The advisory board was informative regarding the topics at hand. The conference was an incredible learning experience, and we look forward to attending again next year.”
