SUMMARY: Many people experience anxiety and depression but struggle to label or describe their feelings. Therapy can help by providing assessments to pinpoint the issue and guide the individual towards a solution. Finding the right therapist is crucial, and meeting with multiple therapists is recommended to find someone who understands and meets the individual's requirements. However, finding a therapist who looks like you and understands your culture can be challenging. Access to mental health resources and education, especially in communities of color, is lacking and needs to be improved. The pandemic has made virtual therapy more popular and accessible.

Licensed Mental Health Counselor & therapist, Mac Stanley Cazeau joins us to talk about prioritizing your mental health, finding the right therapist for you, and more!

SUMMARY: The American Corrections Association conducted an audit on the Keer Nooba County Regional Correctional Facility, with the results being the top story for the night. The audit, done every 3 years, ensures that the facility is well-managed. The facility was evaluated on hundreds of standards including cleanliness, staff training, and offender programming. Sheriff James Moore explained the importance of running a jail and meeting these standards to ensure safety for all. The facility received an impressive score of 99.8% in the audit, but Sheriff Moore aims for a perfect score in the next audit. Passing the accreditation audit is necessary to keep the facility open and maintain safety for all involved.
