Calls to crisis lines and mental health providers continue to increase as people struggle to deal with a wave of emotions. For many, the COVID-19 pandemic, quarantine, and now racial unrest have pushed them beyond normal limits of stress. They are in unfamiliar territory and seeking solutions. For this episode, we\'ve called in the experts and gathered up the most useful resources for people needing to address poor mental health. Please share these numbers and web addresses with anyone and everyone because anxiety, depression, and other types of poor mental health aren\'t visible on the surface and you never know who may need them. #CubicleCamouflage   

Special thanks to Emily Reidford, Executive Director of Mental Health America Vanderburgh County* for her insight.
