This week, The Localist is diving into the mental health aspects of living through a pandemic as a business owner with Vivian Smith Carter. Vivian works with Alabama Apart Together, a completely free resource that provides community support during extraordinary times. Vivian and Carrie start off with what Alabama Apart Together is and what they offer, as well as ways business owners can take care of staff without sacrificing their own wellbeing. Stress management is hugely important even in non-pandemic times, and Vivian gives excellent tips on how to cope. Vivian and Carrie then talk about the importance of connection and how we can reach out to people even in different stages of life. They wrap up with what to expect when you call Alabama Apart Together and the broad range of resources they provide.
