Mental health difficulties like anxiety, depression and post traumatic stress disorder can lead to substance abuse problems and conversely using substances can worsen mental health condition.
So, where do those who need help turn to? What is the answer?
Join WILO for our first Mental Health Summit on Wednesday from 9:30-11 a.m. We will try to answer those questions and inform you on the services available in the area.
Several guests from the region will join us in the studio to discuss these issues. Guests scheduled to appear are Leslie Douglass of Community Howard Regional, Tammy Cooper of the Buck Up Foundation, Kacie McGill of Healthy Communities of Clinton County Coalition, Jennifer Flora of Mental Health America – Wabash Valley Region and IU Safe2Talk, Clinton Prairie High School Principal Kirsten Clark, Dick Moore of the National Alliance for Mental Illness, Clinton County Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Shan Sheridan and Clinton County Health Department Director Rodney Wann.
The Mental Health Summit will be moderated by WILO News Director Ken Hartman and Healthy Communities of Clinton County Coalition Executive Director Lorra Archibald. This event will also be covered live on WILOTV.com.
The event is being sponsored by Encompass Credit Union, Wampler Services, Inc., and the Clinton County Chamber of Commerce.
