In the News

As newsletter editor, I am always searching for articles and blogs that would appeal to our readers. Recently, I have noticed and appreciated the increasing number of articles in mainstream news outlets that alert the public to the growing incidence of mental illness during the pandemic. This emerging awareness is good news for those who live with a mental health condition and the loved ones who live in support of them, as well as for all those staff and volunteers who work in the field of mental health. From awareness, help should grow in ways we can only imagine today as we begin to emerge from this pandemic. Here is a sampling of some of the articles and blogs I’ve read recently that deal with topics related to mental illness. – Linda Koopmann
