On Thursday, April 29th, during the 10 o’clock hour of Teche Matters on KANE107.5FM/AM1240, Positively Iberia! is taking another ride on our mental health awareness “CornonaCoaster.”
Back in July 2020, our panel shared tips and resources dealing with the mental side of the pandemic, so we’re going to revisit where we are now, what help’s available and what’s being done to raise awareness and lessen the stigma of mental health issues. 
We’ll be joined again by Dean and Catherine Wattigny, Iberia Mental Health Initiative, along with local licensed, certified mental health professional, Jawaskie Deal from Believe Iberia Counseling and Erica Olivier from the Heart for Iberia organization… all with more tips and resources along with information on the upcoming “Bayou Side 5k” event scheduled during Mental Health Awareness month, on May 22nd! 
Tune into KANE 107.5FM/AM1240, live stream the broadcast via KANE’s website, www.kane1240.com, find KANE on the TuneIn app or ask Alexa to “play K.A.N.E.”
Positively Iberia! is underwritten by the First National Bank of Jeanerette.
