May is Mental Health Month

While 1 in 5 people will experience a mental illness during their lifetime, everyone faces challenges that can impact their mental health. The good news is there are practical tools that everyone can use to improve their mental health and increase resiliency — and there are ways that everyone can be supportive of friends, family, and co-workers who are struggling with life’s challenges or their mental health.

Visit mhanational.org for tools to thrive, or visit the MaconStrong website for more information about local resources and contacts.

Same Space. New Name.

The LRC Has a New Name — The Commons!

This space will continue to be used for classes, testing and social gatherings, but the new name will better reflect the way the space is being utilized. Look for new signage in the near future.
