An event Sunday at Kibby Corners Park helped draw attention to mental health issues. Organizers also provided a free lunch for those in attendance.
LIMA Linda Scott, founder of Ella B’s home for women, along with Derry Glenn, 6th Ward Lima Councilor, organized an event Saturday at Kibby Corners Park to call attention to the mental health services that are available in the Lima community.
“May is Mental Health Month and this is my first annual walk for Ella B’s. I plan to do this every year. I just wanted to show how important and how mental health needs to be supported,” Scott said.
