Marie Williams, LCSW is the commissioner, for the Tennessee Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services. Around the world and right here in Tennessee, we celebrate May as Mental Health Month. After the last year, the opportunity to pause, reflect, and evaluate our own mental health and that of the people in our lives has never been more important.“How are you doing today?” It’s a question we asked each other multiple times a day that’s taken on new meaning over the last year. Prior to the pandemic, you probably brushed it off with a “Great! How are you?” when really you weren’t “great.”
