We are honored to feature keynote speaker, Cathy Costello, who experienced a tragedy more profound than any person should ever face in their life. On August 23, 2015, Cathy’s eldest son, who had battled mental illness for years, suffered a psychotic break and inexplicably murdered his father, Labor Commissioner Mark Costello. Mark died in Cathy’s arms in the parking lot of a restaurant where the family had gone out to eat that evening.
Since the night tragedy struck the Costello family, Cathy has dedicated herself as an advocate for mental health reform at a state and national level. Her story is one of trauma and heartbreak, but also of incredible hope.
