Last week I had the honor of meeting and chatting with the Corey family at Barre3. This Friday, February 24th, Barre3 will be hosting an evening of giving where you can attend two classes (4:15pm and 5:30pm) with ALL proceeds ($20 suggested donation) going to support the Corey’s as they endure the road ahead. I was drawn to the Corey family not only because of their sweet daughter Sadie but I’ve also been so inspired at how supportive and wonderful local businesses and individuals have been for this family. Tune in and meet the sweet Sadie, mom Katie, dad Adam and Stacey from Barre3. #sadiestrong

Mental Health Awareness-The Children’s Center
I’m wrapping up my interviews for the Mental Health Awareness month of May. I had the wonderful opportunity of touring the Children’s Center and learning about what a great resource that offers specialized outpatient mental health counseling and psychiatric services for children and adolescents. They also offer services for the uninsured and underinsured. Hear about a great fundraiser luncheon with author Patrick Kennedy as the special keynote speaker on June 17th at the Heathman Lodge in Vancouver, WA. I hope one of my interviews this month has helped educate, break the stigma and start the dialogue about mental health. You are not alone. There are resources and help for you. Let’s be a community that cares and supports all.
