The Chicago School Dedicates Memorial
On the eve of the ninth anniversary of her passing, friends and family of Naomi Ruth Cohen gathered at The Chicago School of Professional Psychology (TCS) to dedicate a memorial in her honor.
The new installation will be a permanent fixture on the 4th floor of TCS' downtown Chicago Campus. It tells the story of the Naomi Ruth Cohen Charitable Foundation, which was established by her parents, Lawrence and Marilyn Cohen, with the purpose of helping others touched by the stigma of mental illness.
"Our goal has always been to reduce the stigma associated with mental illness through education," said Mr. Cohen at the event. "The more information we can disseminate to wider audiences, the greater will be the understanding and empathy of society toward mental illness. Our formal affiliation with The Chicago School - our long-time partner - will significantly help us to achieve this objective."
