Break The Hold (BTH), an initiative established by the Halloran family of Pleasantville, is now a program under Greater Mental Health of New York’s umbrella. The Hallorans formed BTH in honor of their late son, Brian Thomas Halloran, who died by suicide in 2018 at the age of 19. The mission is to build resilience and reduce the risk of suicide through education, advocacy, and raising awareness about depression and other mental health challenges and their impact on individuals and the individuals’ families, schools, and communities.
