Attached is a flyer for tele-behavioral health services for individuals impacted by Covid-19. Please feel free to share broadly.
The State of New Mexico has a support line specifically for healthcare workers and first responders, 1-855-507-5509.
Attached are also a flyer for flu shots for tomorrow and also another for a turkey give away.
In various meetings this week I heard people talking about how difficult it is to participate in civic life beyond voting. It reminded me of this documentary which used to only be available in short segments. https://youtu.be/pL4YYYiQIco
