May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and this is a cause very close to my heart.
Over the past 30 years, I have lost a number of close friends and acquaintances to mental health struggles, including suicide, the long-term effects of illness, and violence connected to crisis, neglect, and systems that failed them.
During the month of May, I will be quadrupling all Cups of Coffee and donating the proceeds to organizations that help individuals and families affected by mental illness build better lives through education, support, and advocacy.
