Kommunity Kindness

It's been a while since I posted. I've never been a consistent posting person but will hopefully improve going forward. A lot of great things have been happening recently. So much that I'm not able to let you know tonight. Festival of the Child event in Yukon is tomorrow. I'll be there and it will allow the time for me to post what's going on.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month!

Having a child with mental illness my wife and I have heard many, let's say, unintelligent remarks. One such, let's say, unintelligent remark is "it's not mental illness it's a demon." Now when you ask what work they do it doesn't ever have anything to do with demons or mental illness. They get offended when you question their intelligence which is baffling after they just said my child is possessed.

This kind of stupidity has to stop!
Here's a fact from the past about the origin of saying bless you after a sneeze.

People used to believe a sneeze caused someone to expel their soul out of their body, and so “God bless you” or “Bless you” was used as a protection against the devil snatching your soul.

Is there anyone who still believes that?

Our next support group is tomorrow, the 23rd, at 6:30pm at Resurrection Lutheran Church in Yukon.

We want everyone who cares for someone suffering with mental illness to know you're not alone! Together we will end the stigma!

This Tuesday, October 10th, at V***a Territory in Yukon we will be gathering to honor World Mental Health Day! One of our Yukon PD Officers will speak about the roles of a CIT Officer starting at 6pm. Everyone is welcome!

Please join us from 6-7pm to bring awareness and break the stigma surrounding mental illness.
