Charles County Commissioner Gilbert âBJâ Bowling III hosted a virtual town hall meeting on Dec. 11, discussing the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on mental health during the upcoming holidays.
Bowling (D) was joined by members of the countyâs department of community services, department of social services, health department and public school system. The commissioner said he wanted the community to understand the issues being faced, especially in an age of lesser social interaction.
âWe are all struggling with the same thing and the only way we are going to get through this is together,â Bowling said. âFor people to think they are out on the island, they are not. So many people here are willing to help.â
