David Lawrence Centers partners in Healthy Minds initiative

The mental and emotional effects of COVID-19 are impacting wellbeing in significant ways. Forty percent of U.S. adults report symptoms of anxiety or depression, increases in substance use and thoughts of suicide.

To address this urgent need for support on a local level, 17 behavioral health organizations in SWFL – including DLC – have partnered to launch a new initiative called Healthy Minds.

Healthy Minds offers educational events and complimentary screenings across Lee and Collier counties, providing accessible, convenient tips and resources at no cost for adults. Get multilingual resources, a resiliency toolkit and access to affordable care to overcome adversity.
