The APA Alliance will be presenting a riveting luncheon program at APA’s 2002 annual meeting in Philadelphia. The luncheon will take place on Tuesday, May 21, at 11 a.m. in the Four Seasons Hotel at One Logan Square.
The focus this year, besides tasty fare, will be a number of persons who are playing noteworthy roles on the mental health stage. They will be honored by the Alliance and give a brief talk. The honorees include the following:
• Carolyn Ulmer, emergency mental health worker: For the past 20 years, Ulmer has been working in emergency mental health for the city of Philadelphia. She manages the Acute Services Unit, which is part of the Office of Mental Health/Mental Retardation. The Acute Services Unit is responsible for helping people gain access to emergency behavioral health care and responding to suicide and crisis intervention calls.
• Lyle Jackson, television producer: Jackson, who started his career in television in 1977, has produced and directed documentaries on the death penalty, near-death experiences, illiteracy, racial reconciliation, and, recently, the APA Alliance’s “When Not to Keep a Secret” essay contest (Psychiatric News, March 1). Jackson has received not just an Emmy for his documentaries, but also recognition from the National Mental Health Association, the National Association of Black Journalists, and the American Bar Association.
• Kay Redfield Jamison, Ph.D., a professor of psychiatry at Johns Hopkins University and well-known author: In addition to conducting valuable research, Jamison has written books for the public about compelling psychiatric subjects. Among her best known books are An Unquiet Mind, Night Falls Fast: Understanding Suicide, and Touched With Fire: Manic Depressive Illness and the Artistic Temperament.
• Cheryl Corley, radio reporter: Corley is a reporter at National Public Radio’s Chicago Bureau and part of the NPR team that won a Peabody Award for its coverage of the September 11 terrorist attacks and their aftermath.
• Sue Castle, television producer: Castle is executive producer of a public television series for teens that combines hip entertainment with educational content. She has addressed subjects such as gun violence.
Tickets are $70 before May 14 and $75 thereafter. Tickets can be purchased by contacting Angela Poblocki by phone at (716) 648-4705 or by e-mail at [email protected]. ▪
