Rising Above Mental Health Challenges #shorts
In this brief spoken reflection, Dr. Wayne Pernell highlights the dramatic increase in mental health issues and depression during the pandemic, noting that prevalence rose from roughly 22‑25% of the population to about 50% or slightly higher. He emphasizes that this surge means many people are affected, and calls on leaders, team members, and family members to model supportive behavior. By acting as a "beacon of light"—lifting others and recognizing their needs—individuals can positively influence their environment. He clarifies that one does not need to be a rescuer, but modeling empathy and support naturally leads to stepping in when appropriate, echoing the metaphor that a rising tide lifts all boats.
