The Mandel Society:
Denali Family Services (DFS) Mandel Society was named in honor of Howie Mandel. Howie Mandel is an acclaimed Comedian, Actor and also an Advocate for mental health awareness. Howie deals with the day to day issues of having ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder), OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) and Mysophobia (a dread of dirt or filth, i.e. germaphobia). Through therapy and medication management, Howie is living a healthy and successful life. At the National Children's Mental Health Awareness Day Mandel stated "Mental health awareness, services and supports make a huge difference, especially for children and youth. I hope that in the future -- and sooner rather than later -- mental health check-ups will be as routine as dental health check-ups."
