BREVARD COUNTY • TITUSVILLE, FLORIDA –  Hannah’s Heroes hosted an inspirational concert with American Idol star Danny Kokey Friday evening at Faith City Church in Titusville.

The mission of Hannah’s Heroes is to bring awareness to childhood and teenage depression and to create a support system for youth and families suffering with issues related to depression.

Dr. Louis Joseph, head of the Psychiatry Department at Parrish Medical Center, supports the efforts of Hannah’s Heroes and enjoyed the concert immensely.

“It is vitally important to have a support system in a community to provide help for teenage depression,” said Dr. Joseph.
