Vanessa Elias delivers 9/11 20th Anniversary Speech to honor Peter Burton Hanson, his wife Sue, and their daughter Christine and relates the trauma of that day with the pandemic - and the perspective and strength we can gain.

As a parent support group facilitator for NAMI Southwest CT, Vanessa was honored to present at the CT Region 1 conference: "Mental Health in a Post-Covid World: How to Ensure Emotional Health and Resilience in our Youth/Teens."

​
