Thank you for stepping forward discussing this topic. I've battled with mental health challenges with bipolar and several major manic episodes that resulted in several hospitalizations. I will be coming out and sharing my story soon.

Great Job!!! You should come to Akron, Ohio with this message!

Man. Lorenzo.. You are a maverick.... Having somebody to vent to is key, especially for kids. To find a comfortable environment to show a film and create dialogue (before and after the film) sounds like a fantastic way to connect positive conversations. Thank you & your Team for making a positive mental health difference!

This was amazing. Thank you for sharing. I do something similar at the barber I visit here in Rochester, NY.

NAMI Clark, Greene and Madison Counties in southwestern Ohio is partnering with our funding agency to hold a mental health awareness barbershop event similar to this one. We're forming a committee for an event on May 9, 2020!

The young lady said to go “the help”. Sometimes there is no help to go to.
