This ongoing pandemic is not only a global crisis for public health but for mental health as well. Resources and community are increasingly more important than ever. Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner by day, singer/actor by night, Tim Lafolette offers this love letter to those struggling to find mental health stability and supportive, loving community.

Tim writes, "I want to share my story so that people who feel like they're on the outside looking in, know that there is hope for a better future - a future where they can love who they are and accept love from the community they choose."
