We sat down with Joel Rivas, founder of Saint City Culinary Foundation, to talk about his program called "Heard," whose mission is to support the sustainability and wellness of men and women in the restaurant and bar industry. The program started in San Antonio, but quickly spread to other cities and is now available to hospitality workers nationwide through online support. While mental health is always something that should be talked about, we think now is more important than ever to normalize anxiety, depression, and other mental health disorders as so many of us are experiencing tough times throughout the pandemic. There is no shame in asking for help.
