Mental Health Awareness

The COVID-19 pandemic might have put us all in the same storm but that doesn’t mean we’re all in the same boat. People react to stress in different ways – and for those already challenged, the uncertainty, loss and anxiety of this time can be especially hard. In this Donor Conversation series, Maida Jones, vice president of philanthropy sits down with Dr. Nigel Girgrah, chief wellness officer, to share their personal experiences and advice for those who may be struggling with their mental health. This powerful conversation addresses that it’s ok to ask for help and to lean on your closest family and friends to support you during challenging times.
