It was a pleasure to meet up with Ron Weaver in Portland for a David's Corner conversation. We covered a wide range of topics from Black History Month to how he builds equity practices with his teams as the Program Supervisor for LCSNW's Substance Use programs. This sports fan and athlete even surprised me with a previous NFL tryout and the celebrities he met along the way. If you want to know which team he was up for, you'll have to tune in. Come join us! Please make recommendations of colleagues to be highlighted in the future, and leave a comment below for Ron and I. Thanks to Yulia Shipulina, Community Outreach Coordinator in Portland for filming today's video. David Health, Justice and Hope
I would like you to meet Abraham Alam, a Mental Health Clinician at our Spokane offices, who started with us as an intern before getting a graduate degree. Born in Pakistan, Abraham has been pleasantly surprised by Spokane's natural beauty. Abraham enjoys friends, running and working out for self-care, and volunteers on nonprofit boards that serve the refugee community. Please come join us. Please make recommendations of colleagues to be highlighted in the future, and leave a comment below for Abraham and David. David Health, Justice and Hope

The stress led to frustration, a sense of helplessness and anger. I lost my inner peace and wasn't sleeping. My wife, Jane, helped me realize that it was time to talk to someone about it. I took the important step to care for my mental health. For the first time in my life, I reached out to a therapist to help me. I recognize that my talking about mental health may be uncomfortable for some of you a...
