May is Mental Health Awareness month. With 1 in 5 adults experiencing mental illness and 18% of adolescents reporting the pandemic had a significantly negative impact on their mental health it is imperative that we come together to ensure all members of the community feel seen and supported. Listen in as the team is joined by Heather Ann from NAMI Mid-Hudson joins us to chat ways in which you can celebrate and share your message of hope this May! Big shout out to local Girl Scout Troops 10459 & 10293 who made and hung all the ribbons here in Beacon!  To learn more about I Am Beacon please visit www.iambeacon.org or follow us on social media at facebook.com/iambeacon or on IG @i.am.beacon To learn more about NAMI Mid-Hudson check out www.namimidhudson.org #JoinTheConversation #iAmBeacon #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth #NAMIMH #NamiRibbonCampaign --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/iambeacon/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/iambeacon/support
