Racial tension and attacks have run rampant ...we're still standing. Gun violence and senseless crimes in our community have risen...we're still standing. And lastly, COVID-19 with all of its variances and other health issues including mental health needs have visited us...we're still standing. All of these things have added to many of us experiencing feelings of anxiety, depression, uncertainty at a level we have never felt before. Yes, we pray and thank God for allowing us to still stand. In addition to prayer, God has gifted us with professionals to assist us by offering additional support to manage these things while here on earth.
