WHAT OUR CHARITY DOES...

Team Daniel, a 501(c)3, was formed to advocate for and support people living with mental illness. We organize events to bring families and friends together for social support and exercise. We help families negotiate the healthcare system to find the best treatments available to them. We donate to organizations that serve and support the community living with mental illness.

​

GIVING: When you support us you are supporting many organizations that treat, advocate for and help people living with serious mental illness. Team Daniel has raised over $400,000 for organizations including:

• Brain and Behavior Research Foundation

• NAMI Westchester

• NAMI New York State

• The Mental Health Association of Westchester

• American Foundation for Suicide Prevention

• The Youth Mental Health Project and Treatment Advocacy Center

 

GATHERING & ZOOM:  April - October, weather dependent, Ann and I host in our home, patients and families with mental illness for a morning of exercise, support, friendship, food, and the socialization that is so important for us all. When we are not hanging out at home...Zoom has become our virtual hug. Year round, each Saturday 11:00 -2:00EST, patients and families gather from across America for advice on healthcare, treatment and much needed comfort.

 

BOOK: Our book, CLOZAPINE Meaningful Recovery from Serious Mental Illness and Schizophrenia, was self-published in 2016 to tell our story and give hope to everyone who lives with or loves someone with serious mental illness. The sales are invested into Team Daniel. The 5th Edition will be released Summer of 2025.

 

LECTURES: With an ever increasing audience, there are many invitations to lectures, panel discussions and Grand Rounds at hospitals, institutions and charities. Unfortunately, travel expenses and event fees are very rarely awarded. 

​
