We want to help fill that gap. That’s why we teamed up with Pittsburgh-based mental health advocacy organization Steel Smiling and began reaching out to our neighbors. We heard back from 14 local leaders, artists and activists with track records of championing mental health. Each weighed in on how they’re coping, why their story matters and how they would encourage others who may be struggling.
We hope you find their insights valuable as you navigate your own mental and emotional well-being during this period. While Mental Health Awareness Month is coming to an end, our responsibility to prioritize mental health remains.
