Empowering Minds: Celebrating Mental Health Awareness with Music, Resources and Conversation

The All Request Mental Health Day is back on July 3rd! To hear a specific song, call 502-814-WFPK (9375) and share your request. Tune in from 6 a.m. until 6 p.m. to listen to a full day of song requests. You can also email your request to studio@wfpk.org or record a voice memo on your phone and send it to the same email address for a chance to hear it on air. Don’t miss out on this special day dedicated to mental health and music!

Sponsored by CCLOU, WFPK Mental Health Day highlights the importance of mental health awareness and resources available for you, your family, and friends when dealing with mental health issues. Connect with WFPK on Facebook and Instagram using #WFPKMentalHealthDay to join the conversation online.

The National Suicide & Crisis Lifeline is available by calling or texting 9-8-8, while the Louisville Suicide Prevention Lifeline can be reached by texting LOU to 741741. Other resources include the Kentucky chapter of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, Seven Counties Services, Mental Health Lou, the Veterans Crisis and Military Crisis Line, the Kentucky Nurses Association, and more.

Part of supporting mental health is listening to others and understanding their experiences. If you have privilege, take the time to educate yourself about systemic racism and support Black people and people of color in creating lasting change in your community towards equality and justice for all individuals regardless of race or ethnicity.
