I mean it wholeheartedly when I say that Mental Health First Aid has transformed my life and empowered me to save lives. Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) provides the skills to recognize, understand, and respond to signs of mental health and substance use challenges in adults. With 1 in 5 adults in the U.S. living with a mental illness, someone you know is likely facing a mental health or addiction challenge.

I invite you to join me and my friend and colleague, Rev. Dr. Emery Ailes, for an MHFA course on Saturday, June 15th. It would be wonderful to see you there.

Are you having difficulty sleeping, concentrating, or feeling irritable? It's called ANXIETY! It can rob you of your peace of mind and joy.

Stop and breathe! Consider the 5-5-5 rule: breathe in for 5 seconds, hold your breath for 5 seconds, and then breathe out for 5 seconds.

Whenever you feel anxiety, breathe and declare, "I got this, and keep pressing forward!"
