May is Mental Health Awareness Month. A perfect time for Kelly Kix to welcome Alli Elise, a licensed graduate social worker / clinical case manager to join #FanGals for a discussion around mental health and some of the unique challenges facing people of all ages as we transition again into another "new norm". Going from "fully open" to lock down and phasing ourselves back into opening up again. We dive a bit into the complexities the various stages of the pandemic as well as the civil unrest within our communities has created or intensified various mental health issues like anxiety, PTSD, depression, etc. 

The gals also spend time chatting about growing up, special childhood memories with grandparents, changing career paths, strong women, social media and much more. 

 

You are NOT alone.
