The pandemic has had a lot of visible effects on our world, nation, and community. Less visible is the effect that it has had on our mental health. That is why it is more important than ever to recognize Mental Health Awareness Month and share resources helping anyone struggling with any form of mental illness.
The Morning Thing had the opportunity to speak with Dodie Melvin of NAMI Knox Licking Ohio. NAMI, the National Alliance on Mental Illness, offers many resources to anyone struggling with their mental health. In our conversation with Dodie, she shared the resources that NAMI offers, discussed the importance of raising awareness of mental health issues, and gave advice for friends and families to help their loved ones who are struggling with a mental illness. You can hear the entire conversation HERE. For more information about NAMI and their resources, you can visit their website, namiknoxohio.com.

Today is May 19, also known in some parts as MAY RAY DAY!
Get yourself out into the sun! That’s the best way to celebrate May Ray Day.
Get a new wardrobe of pretty spring clothes and take your family out on a picnic!
Been exercising inside all winter? Get yourself out into the sun and go for a walk or a jog, breathe in that fresh air, and if you have allergies, take a Benadryl…
May Ray Day is your reminder to go outside and soak up some sun in the great outdoors, so get out there!
Today is also NUMERACY DAY…
The aim is to celebrate numbers and how we use them in everyday life. The day is designed to encourage people to feel curious about numbers, explore how they can benefit them in their day to day life and give them the confidence to develop and improve their numeracy skills.
I am…former Harlem Globetrotter, Curly Neal. Congratulations to Ruth Ann from Sugarcreek, who guessed correctly and wins the $5 gift card to Everlasting Cup!
