ECSU Foundation Benefit Luncheon for Natchaug Hospital

The ECSU Foundation will be hosting its fifth annual luncheon benefitting Natchaug Hospital’s education programs. The luncheon will be held at noon in the Betty R. Tipton Room of the ECSU Student Center.

The keynote speaker for the event will be Paul Weigle, M.D., one of Natchaug Hospital’s board-certified child and adolescent psychiatrists and a nationally-recognized presenter on the effects of media on children. Dr. Weigle will address the issue of Internet and Video Game Addiction: LOL or OMG?

The minimum donation for attendance is $100 per guest, and all funds raised will benefit Natchaug Hospital’s education programs.

Natchaug Hospital’s educational programs help children whose mental health and emotional issues prevent them from succeeding in their local schools. This past year, Natchaug’s inpatient, residential and clinical day treatment school programs enrolled more than 900 students from 102 Connecticut towns.
