Accepting the People’s Choice Health Hero for 2015 Award recently, Glenn Close, inspired by her sister’s bipolar disorder, stressed the need for more people to talk openly about “the human condition” of mental health. Close said that one in four of us “are touched in some way” by mental disorders.
You can find out more about mental health issues by attending a series of seminars, sponsored by Messiah Stephen Ministers, on Mondays in the Messiah Lutheran Sanctuary, 905 NW 94th Street, Vancouver, WA.
