On Tuesday, May 29,from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., at the Batavia Public Library, Retiring Family Services Division Director, Tom Dewese, LCSW, ACSW will be presenting “Minding Your Mental Health, Easy to Say, Hard to Do…and Other Things I’ve Learned at TriCity Family Services.” 

You are invited to join TriCity Family Services for the event at the library, 10 S. Batavia Ave., to hear Tom reflect on his 28 years serving the mental health needs of our community.

Tom joined TriCity Family Services in 1984 and his mark on the community is as profound as the mark of the agency itself. He was also recently honored with the 2012 Lyle E. Oncken Community Services Award by the INC Board.  Tom was named Social Worker of the Year by the National Association of Social Workers in 2009.

During the presentation, attendees will enjoy hearing:

• What he didn’t know then, that he knows now
• What has changed in mental health over the decades, and what has stayed the same
• Other words of wisdom about families, parenting, mental illness, therapy and community mental health.

This presentation is being provided free of charge, and all are welcome to attend. For additional information, please call TriCity Family Services at 630-232-1070 or visit www.tricityfamilyservices.org.
