Get Involved with Metal Health Awareness Month

It’s the month of May which also means it’s Mental Health Awareness month.    Today, I caught up with Brianna Sink. Brianna is the Make It OK Coordinator for the Iowa Healthiest State Initiative.    The conversation Brianna and I had was deep and wide. We began with how Brianna went from selling office furniture to mental health. From there we move into lessons learned, resources and best practices related to mental health. And we rounded out our conversation on a note of hope.    Listen for how you can be a part of Mental Health Awareness month by attending a free virtual presentation on May 15, wearing green on May 18 to support Make it OK, joining the Stop and Smell the Flowers challenge, or detach from your day-to-day with a Spotify playlist put together by local artist.
