Austin 360
The coronavirus pandemic shut the world down in March 2020 and the ensuing 14 months have not been easy. Beyond COVID-19 anxiety, isolation and economic devastation, we’ve weathered a divisive presidential election, police killings across the country that galvanized a civil rights movement and a winter storm that left thousands of Texans shivering in their homes for days.
May is Mental Health Awareness Month and if you are struggling, Patsy Dolan Bouressa, executive director of the SIMS Foundation, wants you to know you’re not alone.
“I think the biggest thing that people should know is we are actually in the middle of a mental health crisis,” Dolan Bouressa said during a recent episode of Austin360’s streaming show, the Monday Music Mashup.
