Glendon’s presence at this year’s APA Convention in Orlando, Florida proved to be a great success. Dr. Lisa Firestone presented to a professional audience on the subject of suicide prevention during rough economic times. She also held a book signing for her latest text, The Self Under Siege, co-authored by Dr. Robert Firestone and Joyce Catlett.

Dr. Firestone also joined with Glendon’s Director of Communications, Jina Carvalho, and new media specialist, Lena Firestone to present on how non-profits and mental health professionals can use new and social media to promote education and awareness in their field. Glendon’s creation of the psychology website for the public, PsychAlive.org, served as a strong model for how new technological platforms can encourage people to take an introspective approach to life and seek out psychological help.
