To celebrate Mental Health Awareness Month, the Mental Health Support Group-Keweenaw Area is partnering with the Portage Lake District Library to host a public program at the library in downtown Houghton at 6 p.m. Wednesday, May 8.
Brian Rendel, counseling and community health program director of the Copper Shores Community Health Foundation, will speak on 10 Habits for Healthy Brains.
Rendel, who has more than 30 years of experience as a mental health professional, will explain why he has come to believe that mental health starts with basic brain health.
Preceding his talk, representatives from Keweenaw area mental health groups will give an update on their activities.
The program is free and all are welcome. For more information, contact the Mental Health Support Group-Keweenaw Area at MHSGKA@aol.com.
