Sometimes just knowing there’s someone to reach out to can make all the difference in the world.
That’s why local organizations and community partners are working to break the perceived stigma of mental health via an online platform aimed at unveiling avenues of relief for youths who have struggled with mental fatigue amidst a global pandemic that has turned their developmental years upside down.
On March 18, Kids’ Minds Matter, a unified movement in Southwest Florida under the Lee Health umbrella dedicated to advancing pediatric mental and behavioral health service will host its free “Unmasking the Epidemic” virtual event to help address the mental health impacts to local youth.
