Circle of Trust

As it is the last day of May, therefore the last day of Mental Health Awareness Month, I focused my COT on the need to make mental health awarenss a priority every day throughout the year. It seems like there is a National Fill-in-the-Blank Month every month and once that month ends, that cause often goes by the wayside as we focus on the next month’s awareness cause. As we have seen way too often in our society, especially these last few weeks, mental health is a serious issue that requires serious solutions. While most of us are not trained to address mental health issues, we do need to recognize the symptoms and seek help, either for ourselves or our loved ones and friends. I also shared the personal experiences of my daughter who, as a nurse in a Neuro unit, is trained for such things. She sees the effects of mental health issues first hand everyday and I pray that as a result of her nursing experience, she is able to effecively deal with the impact of her job on her own mental health. Ended in prayer.
