Roslyn Heights, NY, May 15, 2017 —North Shore Child & Family Guidance Center will be holding its 21st annual Jonathan Krevat Memorial Golf & Tennis Classic on Monday, June 19, at The Creek in Locust Valley, and the competition is heating up!
This year’s honoree is Dan Donnelly, chief executive officer, Donnelly Mechanical Corporation, and longtime supporter of the Guidance Center. Donnelly, a Garden City resident, has created a whole new approach to this year’s event, with four teams competing for the Krevat Cup: one from Garden City, with Donnelly as the team captain; one from Manhasset, with Mike Mondiello as captain; NYC captain Troy Slade; and East Coast team captain Michael Schnepper. As in the great tradition of the Davis Cup and the Ryder Cup, the “Krevat Cup” will be awarded to one of four competing teams.
“The reason I love Garden City is because it’s a kids’ town,” said Donnelly. “Nothing is more important than the wellbeing of our kids. That’s why my fellow GC-ers and I are competing (well, that and they love golf and tennis). But our team could definitely still use some help! Reach out to the Guidance Center- it’s a great cause- and tell them I sent you. Go Team Garden City!”
“This is going to be a phenomenal event,” said Mondiello. “The Creek is an amazing golf course. The location can’t be beat. The energy is high. And after golf, the outdoor beach club cocktail and dinner time will make it a truly classic and classy event! Team Manhasset is ready to bring home the Krevat Cup! ”
“The goal is to raise no less than $200,000 this year, all of which goes to support the important work of the Guidance Center,” says East Coast captain Michael Schnepper. “So for those in Nassau, Suffolk, Westchester and beyond, join my team! Let’s not let Garden City and Manhasset rule the roost.”
The New York City captain is equally pumped up for his team’s performance. “It’s not too late to sign up and show Long Island what NYC is all about!” says Slade.
North Shore Child & Family Guidance Center is the preeminent nonprofit, children’s mental health agency on Long Island, dedicated to restoring and strengthening the emotional well-being of children (from birth to age 24) and their families. For more than 60 years, the Guidance
Center has been a place of hope and healing, providing innovative and compassionate treatment to all regardless of their ability to pay.

Roslyn Heights, NY, May 10, 2017 — What’s your favorite room in your home? For some, it may be difficult to choose just one. But John Grillo, North Shore Child & Family Guidance Center’s former board president, says there’s no doubt which room his father Johnny would have chosen: the garage!
In honor of his father’s memory, John Grillo, in addition to contributing and helping to raise funds for the renovation of the Guidance Center’s garage, made a separate significant gift to officially name it “Johnny’s Garage.”
On May 8, several staff, clients and community members joined together to dedicate the garage to the senior Grillo, whom his son describes with great affection. “Johnny’s Garage is dedicated to my father, a man who was always fixing something. He was military trained during WWII as an aircraft and auto mechanic, but was equally comfortable around anything with an engine. It made absolutely no difference whether it was manufactured in 1925 or 1999. He was truly a mechanic’s mechanic with an unrestrained passion to repair things….anything.”
Grillo shared his experiences watching his father working on a 1957 Jaguar XK-120, which hadn’t run in more than 15 years: “He charged the battery, removed and replaced the spark plugs, installed a new set of points, a new condenser and rotor, drained and changed the oil and oil filter, checked the spark, adjusted the timing, cleaned out some very gunked up carburetors, sprayed some Marvel Mystery oil in the cylinders, turned the engine over, and then vroom…..five hours later this classic car was running like a top.”
He proudly noted that his father was happy to help anyone in need. “All of our friends, neighbors and relatives knew that if they had a problem, just go see Johnny Grillo and he’d fix it. I think his confidence and belief in himself was the major ingredient in his magnificent tool bag.”
Also that evening, the garage was “christened” by the Guidance Center’s Parent Support Group, where clients utilized the garage as a painting studio and created vibrant canvases of sunflowers.
“We’re so grateful to John Grillo for his longtime support of the Guidance Center,” said Executive Director Andrew Malekoff. “John is clearly like his Dad in that when there is a need, he’s right there to help provide a solution. His service to our mission has been unwavering.”

Roslyn Heights, NY, April 28, 2017 — On April 27, North Shore Child & Family Guidance Center held its Annual Spring Luncheon at Glen Head Country Club, featuring keynote speaker Dr. Cynthia Pizzulli, a renowned psychotherapist, lecturer and adolescent parenting expert. The event was attended by 200 people and made more than $63,000 to support the important work of the Guidance Center.
Guests began the day playing Mahjong and Canasta and then shopped at the event’s many boutiques, featuring some of Long Island’s trendiest and most charitable small business owners. Fine Jewelry, housewares, and designer purses were just some of the many items for sale.
At the delicious luncheon buffet, attendees were riveted by Dr. Pizzulli who spoke about the pros and cons of social media for teens. “I have good news,” said Dr. Pizzulli. “Your tweens and teens are not doomed because they use social media. The key is to teach them healthy boundaries, so they don’t act impulsively and post anything too personal or inappropriate.”
Dr. Pizzulli was introduced by Jaci Clement, who moderated the discussion following Dr. Pizzulli’s presentation.
Clement is a media expert with more than 20 years of experience in the communications industry. She is executive director of the Fair Media Council, a New York metro area media watch organization. In supporting our message of removing stigma, Clement said, “The more we can do to raise awareness of mental illness, the faster we can retire the stigmas associated with it and people can get the help they need and deserve. The Guidance Center has built an exceptional legacy of caring for this community, and that’s something that can only be accomplished when the people involved are pure of heart and steadfast in spirit.”
Andrew Malekoff, Executive Director of the Guidance Center, said, “I was very impressed with Dr. Pizzulli’s presentation and also the questions from the audience. We all need to be aware of both the benefits and dangers to our children and teens of social media, and she provided excellent guidance to help parents navigate this new world.”
The event was a huge success due in part to the support of some very generous sponsors including: Jill Berman, Amy Cantor, Rita Castagna, Ruth Fortunoff Cooper, Flushing Bank, Joan Grant, iThrive, Klipper Family Foundation, Jack & Dorothy Kupferberg Family Foundation, Andrea Leeds, Marion & Irving Levine, Power Travel, Raich Ende Malter & Co. LLP, Cynthia Rubinberg, Alexis Siegel, Signature Bank, South Oaks Hospital, Lisa Strauss, Baker Tilly and Carol & Arnold Wolowitz Foundation.

Regina Barros-Rivera designated as leader who is
“Great In Our State” in children’s mental health
Roslyn Heights, NY, April 13, 2017 — North Shore Child & Family Guidance Center is pleased to announce that Regina Barros-Rivera, our Associate Executive Director, has been chosen to be honored at the 2017 “What’s Great in Our State—A Celebration of Children’s Mental Health Awareness” reception for her leadership role in the organization. She will be presented with the award on Tuesday, May 2nd, from 2-4:30 pm at the Huxley Auditorium in the New York State Museum in Albany.
The award is very competitive. Only three individual honorees and two programs are selected statewide for successfully addressing the issues of children’s mental health, including successful intervention on behalf of children and their families.
According to Andrew Malekoff, Executive Director and CEO of the Guidance Center, Ms. Barros-Rivera’s contribution to the organization is critical to the Center’s success. “We count on Regina’s leadership in the overall clinical operation, from providing direct care to families to creating innovative programs that have healed thousands of children, teens and families,” he says. “One of her many contributions is the Latina Girls Project, which Regina created as a result of the high incidence of suicide among this population. With the Latina Girls Project, these girls and their families are given the social, emotional and psychological support they need in a bicultural and bilingual context. This program has saved lives and staked hopeful paths for these girls.”
“I am honored to be part of an organization that supports services to children and families in dire need who have limited access to comprehensive quality-of-care clinical services,” says Barros-Rivera. “Alone we cannot provide the much needed care for our children and families but as part of a collaborative of caregivers and the community, we can take on challenges that will give our children and families emotional safety and stability.”

Run-D.M.C. Founder Darryl McDaniels Inspires Teens at Guidance Center Event
Roslyn Heights, NY, March 13, 2017 — North Shore Child & Family Guidance Center’s Leeds Place was hip hop heaven last Thursday as Darryl McDaniels, the founder of Run-D.M.C., inspired a roomful of teens and adults with his stories of personal adversity and ultimate triumph.
“Darryl is a hip hop pioneer, a rap poet and an inspiring prophet,” said Andrew Malekoff, Executive Director of the Guidance Center. “The packed house got to experience all the sides of this remarkable man in a two-hour tour-de-force in which he taught us about the history of hip hop, delighted us performing rap, and moved us with intimate stories of resiliency. The audience gave him a standing ovation, which he richly deserved.”
Darryl McDaniels with Guidance Center Executive Director Andrew Malekoff
In his talk, McDaniels encouraged the young people in the audience with the transcendent and core messages of hip hop: “Always be open to doing something different. It could change your life.”
McDaniels shared not only the story of his rise to fame and fortune but his personal struggles, which included a battle with severe depression and substance abuse. “I’m no better than anyone of you sitting here,” he said. “No matter what you are battling, you can beat it. And no matter what your passion is, be it music or art or science or law or medicine, go for your dreams. Everything needed to change the world is inside you. Education is your deliverance!”
“I truly believe that Darryl’s honest, uplifting talk has changed the lives of the young people in the audience,” said Malekoff. “He spoke from the heart, and his message came across loud and clear as he told the teens ‘Anything you can dream, you can do!’”

Neiman Marcus Staff Mentors Guidance Center Clients
Also donates $2,000 to our Nature Nursery
Roslyn Heights, NY, March 6, 2017 — North Shore Child & Family Guidance Center and Neiman Marcus teamed up on Friday, Feb. 24, for a luncheon and makeover event that was educational and lots of fun for nearly 20 of our teen girl clients. The girls, along with staff from the Guidance Center, were treated to a wonderful lunch as five employees of Neiman Marcus and one from Estee Lauder shared their inspirational stories that described their career paths.
The teens, along with several staff and board members from the Guidance Center, were welcomed to the lovely café at Neiman Marcus by Doris Wilshere, the store’s Vice President and General Manager, who told the girls, “Don’t ever let anyone tell you that you can’t fulfill your dreams. You can accomplish anything!”
The concept for the mentoring initiative came from the Business Advisory Committee of the Guidance Center, which includes Board Member Linda Ugenti, who was instrumental in coordinating the effort at Neiman Marcus and was one of the six mentors at the luncheon.
“Helping children is Neiman Marcus’s top priority, so connecting them in this mentoring program with the Guidance Center was a natural,” said Ugenti, who is a selling associate at Neiman Marcus and a long-time board member of the Guidance Center.
Neiman Marcus also made a generous donation of $2,000 toward art supplies for our new Nature Nursery, located at our Marks Family Right From the Start 0-3+ Center in Manhasset, which will come in handy when our younger clients begin using the Nature Nursery in the Spring.
“Goodwill and supporting the communities surrounding our stores are two of the guiding principles of Neiman Marcus,” said Wilshere. “It was with those principles in mind that we were honored to partner with the Guidance Center. The mentorship luncheon was an amazing success. We look forward to continuing our community involvement and charitable efforts on Long Island and partnering again with the Guidance Center.”
“We are so grateful to the Neiman Marcus staff for hosting this mentoring partnership,” said Regina Barros-Rivera, Associate Executive Director at the Guidance Center. “Hearing the stories of success of the six mentors was very motivating for them, and they also had a terrific time getting their makeovers at the Estee Lauder counter.”
Executive Director Andrew Malekoff added, “We look forward to continuing and expanding this partnership with the gracious and caring staff at Neiman Marcus.”

Long Island makeup artists Rebelle with a Gloss provided makeovers, while Huntington salon Salone di Bianca provided blow-outs and hair styling.

Roslyn Heights, NY, July 13, 2016 — North Shore Child and Family Guidance Center (NSC&FGC) has received a $4,000 grant from the Manhasset Community Fund (MCF) to further its core children’s mental health programming. MCF has a proud history of supporting local programs that are making a difference in the lives of Manhasset residents. NSC&FGC has been providing services to Manhasset, its surrounding communities, and all of Nassau County for more than 63 years, and has been a humble recipient of the Fund’s generosity for many years. The Guidance Center is a state-wide leader in children’s mental health service delivery – therapeutic, supportive, and educational services.
The agency will be allocating MCF’s funding to the ongoing expansion of its triage, emergency, and high-risk services. There has been a dramatic increase in psychiatric emergencies referred to The Guidance Center due to several factors: (1) inpatient hospitalization stays have shortened and are more difficult to access, (2) availability of inpatient and day treatment beds for children and youth have declined, (3) fewer agencies and private practitioners are readily available to respond, and (4) emergency room visits have become more time consuming and emotionally hazardous. “There is a clear and present need for a community-based service that rapidly responds to emergencies and works toward stabilization,” said Andrew Malekoff, LCSW, CASAC, Executive Director of NSG&FGC.
