Additional Opportunties / Resources
KVC Kentucky - Megan Moore
Megan Moore, Senior Director of Innovation and Impact at KVC Kentucky, hosted a webinar on November 12 highlighting the importance of mental health and looking into mental health trends. The recording will be available soon.
A follow up note from Megan with some helpful articles:
"A few recent articles published on the epidemic of loneliness and isolation that I thought you might find interesting!
The second article is in today’s New York Times and centers around creating opportunities for community through sharing a meal together. This made me think of the opportunities that Golf Pros have to not only create opportunities to support each other, but also to support those who are more vulnerable or susceptible to loneliness or isolation (retirees/widows/teenagers, etc). I’ve also included the Surgeon General’s Advisory Report which is a bit more academic but might be interesting and helpful to some folks.
