Beverly Lazar, a licensed clinical social worker at the Saratoga County Mental Health Center, was honored as the 2015 SCCCMH Citizen of the Year at “Mental Health Matters Benefit” held at Longfellows Restaurant on May 13, 2015. Peggy Lounsbury, Chairperson of the SCCCMH, presented Beverly with a plaque recognizing her for over 30 years of dedication to serving, promoting and advocating for the needs of people living with mental illness, especially children. In addition to her work at the Center, Beverly has spearheaded a number of programs in the community. In 1976, she co-founded, with Judy Ekman, the Saratoga Task Force on Child Abuse and Neglect, which is now the Saratoga Center for the Family. She also founded Youth2 – Youth Helping Youth, a foundation that helps young people learn the art and practice of community volunteering and philanthropy. Beverly has also been involved with the Living in Harmony Festival, World Quilt Project of the Saratoga Mentoring Program, and the Dance Flurry. She has also served on the boards of the SCCCMH, the Waldorf School of Saratoga Springs, and Children and Nature Saratoga.
