Anna Marie talks with Ryan Lampa, CEO of People Loving Nashville. He talks about the non-profit that serves the unhoused and vulnerable of Nashville.

They host a meal every Monday night on the Gay Street Connector, and add other items that people who are unhoused may need. With the meal and supplies, PLN offers relief and community, then, as connection is formed, they help with housing. PLN offers restoration, by helping people deal with things that contributed to their situation, giving them hope, and helping them find what they are passionate about, and trying to help make those dreams work out for them. 

People Loving Nashville also has a coffee shop, Paradeisos, which employs formerly unhoused people, and brings in money for PLN to continue its mission. Ryan says they are always in need of donations, whether it's material items like clothing, or monetary donations.

People Loving Nashville

In this Podcast, Dr. Joseph Sharpe, Chief Medical Officer at Ascension Saint Thomas Behavioral Health Hospital talks types of depression. He discusses some of the things that contribute to the condition and some ways to build a strategy to support your mental health. He talks about the links to physical health and mental health, and lists four areas that we can work on to promote good mental health. They include good sleep hygiene, proper exercise (including how much, how often, and at what level of exercise), diet, and Rest, Relaxation and Socialization. All of those, Dr. Sharpe says, are key factors to supporting and promoting good mental health.
He says one main takeaway would be to, "Stop comparing yourself to other people, and focus on yourself. Where are YOU? How do YOU feel?" We don't have to eat more because others are, have more because others do, or be perfect, because it LOOKS like others are. You will learn a LOT from this expert, and this may be an interview you save the link  to listen to again, and share with others!

Here's a link to Ascension Saint Thomas Behavioral Health Hospital, that includes a free mental health assessment tool, and contact information for more help.
