CORBIN â This past year presented so many different challenges and obstacles that tested our strength and resiliency. The global pandemic forced us to cope with situations we never even imagined, and a lot of us struggled with our mental health as a result. The good news is that there are tools and resources available that can support the well-being of individuals and communities.
Now, more than ever, we need to combat the stigma surrounding mental health concerns. Thatâs why this Mental Health Month, Baptist Health Corbin is highlighting #Tools2Thrive - what individuals can do throughout their daily lives to prioritize mental health, build resiliency, and continue to cope with the obstacles of COVID-19.
Â
Will become richer, not diminished,
As they are lifted into the safe keeping of trusted friends who are hope for me
When I cannot find my own voice.
Â
As they are held in tenderness by those who gather around
And stand with me as windbreaks against the storms that I fear will consume me;Â
Those who can be my Remembering,
Of life that was,Â
Long before the Day of Loss.
Â
Â
Â
Does not have to be evicted
For you to find healing.
Grief and hope can cohabit your home.
Â
Where fear and remorse and what-could-have-been hide,
So you can know that loss will not consume you.
Individuals interested in receiving the COVID–19 vaccination, may now do so on a walk-in basis at the Baptist Health Corbin COVID–19 vaccine clinic.
“You can still make an appointment if you want to,” said Debbie Hardin, Strategic Services Manager at the hospital.
The Corbin Clinic, located at The Corbin Center at 222 Corbin Center Drive will be open from 8 a.m. until 3 p.m. daily through early May.
Hardin said the Corbin clinic is not limited to individuals from Whitley County.
“Anyone can come in and get the vaccine,” Hardin said.
Baptist Health’s COVID–19 vaccine clinics in Lexington and Richmond are also offering walk–in vaccines this week.
