Wellness Hour – Toward Hope

17:00 ET | 16:00 CT | 15:00 MT | 14:00 PT

This month we will be joined by crisis counselors Kylee Helmke and Andrea Morales to discuss mental health issues that affect the FSHD community. Depression is not uncommon, and too many families have been devastated by suicide. This is a safe and confidential space to share your experiences. We will discuss what we can do as a community and individuals to help loved ones in crisis. What are warning signs to be aware of? What resources are there to help?

Kylee Helmke says, “I came to Crisis Text Line in June 2021. I’m currently a Senior Success Coach on the Volunteer Experience team and am the Public Safety Liaison for the organization as well. I graduated from San Diego State University with undergraduate degrees in Psychology & Criminal Justice, and I have my Masters in Education with an emphasis in Counseling from SDSU as well (Go Aztecs!). Working in the crisis space is challenging, but is also the most rewarding career I could have hoped for. At the end of the day, we’re all just walking each other home; knowing that I can walk alongside someone in their moment of crisis is an honor I hold dearly.”

Andrea Morales writes, “I came to Crisis Text Line in August 2020 as a Bilingual Clinical Supervisor on the Clinical Team. Now, I’m a Bilingual Success Coach with the Volunteer Experience Team. I graduated from The Ohio State University with a bachelor of science in Psychology and a minor in English; I then received my Masters of Arts in Legal and Forensic Psychology from The University of California at Irvine. As someone with a long history of lived experience with mental health struggles, my work here at CTL is something I’m passionate about and something that means a lot to me.”

The Wellness Hour is open to everyone in the FSHD community. This is your time to enjoy the company of fellow FSHers, share challenges, talk about what works for you, and feel validated and supported in whatever you may be going through.

Nous ouvrirons la salle Zoom une demi-heure plus tôt (16h30 ET). afin que les membres puissent profiter d'un forum ouvert pour discuter de tout ce qui les préoccupe. Rick Whitehead sera présent pour vous accueillir. L'Heure du bien-être est devenue une destination très populaire et nous n'avons jamais assez de temps pour que chacun puisse partager ce qui le préoccupe, alors nous avons pensé essayer cette approche.

Notre réunion mensuelle Zoom sur le bien-être se tient le deuxième lundi de chaque mois, de 17 h à 18 h (heure de l'Est). Chaque mois, nous aurons un sujet de conversation, mais il s'agit d'une réunion informelle et si la discussion dévie dans d'autres directions, ce n'est pas grave ! Nous espérons que vous passerez nous voir pour profiter de la compagnie de quelques-unes des merveilleuses personnes de notre communauté.
