You’ll Never Say You Had a Bad Day Again

As I write this, the truth is that I am tired. The truth is also that I am having a lovely day. Yes, there have been some hard moments, but there have also been some beautiful moments. I am not failing today; I am living. It is not a bad day. It is a nuanced day.
President’s Update on Hurricane Laura
Louisiana is a resilient community, but we work best when we work together. Southwest Louisiana is a community that prior to this storm was underserved in mental and behavioral health. I know that our public affairs committee will be meeting so that we can organize resources as we become aware of needs. From past experiences, we know that each disaster is unique and that it is often best to listen to impacted communities, allow them to express their needs first, then organize response with what is needed rather than making assumptions.
