FB Live Event: April 8th, 2020

We hosted our second Facebook Live event on April 9th, 2020. It was a big hit! We loved bringing together such great leaders of the community. Holly and Scott Gibson, Dr. Rick Butts, Psychiatrist, Barbara Hogan, CEO of Timbelo, Inc. and good friend from the business community, Andi Schrock sat down (virtually of course) to talk about the impact COVID-19 is having on our community. There discussion was filled with hope in this time of uncertainty.

Here are some highlights of the event and resources available:

Key Points:

• You are not alone, WE are in this together

• We get to choose right here what we are going to do on this day

• Look 2 inches up, and you will see everyone else

• You remember what you are supposed to remember (when coping with grief)

• Focus on the good moments and memories, they will stand out

• Hope does not disappoint.

• We are all in this together, as a community.
