Mid-Hudson’s Mental Health Check-Up

A message from Adam Stone, Examiner+ Publisher:
Given the unspeakable human toll, it’s always delicate to detail the unintended positive consequences of the pandemic. The harsh impact on mental health is part of that terrible toll. But the severe strain on the world’s emotions, all at once, did seem to help destigmatize the notion of people seeking help when grappling with mental discomfort. It was particularly helpful when professional athletes — lionized by society as figures of supreme mental toughness — came forward to reveal their own struggles, highlighting how treating our minds and flexing our muscles, figuratively and literally, do not stand in conflict. In today’s News + Issues section of Examiner+, reporter Sherrie Dulworth explores local mental health needs and resources as we continue to live through these uncommon times. I hope you find it informative.
Best,
Adam
