This week, we spoke with Abiola Ogunbekun, a certified 200-hour teacher with yoga nidra and prenatal/postnatal certifications. Not only does she teach at multiple studios/venues around Charlotte, she also has a private studio in her home for teaching one-on-one and/or 2-3 person classes through her private business, Call Me Abby.

She gets very vulnerable in her interview about how she prioritizes her wellness from a holistic viewpoint and not just rest; impostor syndrome and her love of Tracee Ellis Ross.

Listen to the full interview here:

Following up from our Lively #988 Discussion last week with (, .mitchum, ,and ), DC will join jurisdictions nationwide in launching the three-digit #988 su***de prevention and crisis services lifeline.

“Anyone experiencing a mental health, substance use, or suicidal crisis will be able to dial #988 and the National Su***de Prevention Lifeline will connect individuals to locally operated crisis centers.

In calling 988, individuals will be connected to compassionate and accessible care and support.

Family and friends can also call 988 if they are worried about a loved one who may need crisis support.

The 988 Su***de and Crisis Lifeline will:
•Connect people experiencing a mental health or substance use crisis to a trained crisis counselor who can address their immediate needs and connect them to ongoing care if needed.
•Build on the District’s initiative to divert certain 911 mental health-related crisis calls to mental health specialists and decrease an automatic law enforcement response.
•Help end stigma around mental illness and normalize seeking or accessing mental health care.

The 988 Lifeline supports a mental health crisis as a health crisis with a clinical response so all residents feel comfortable reaching out for help.

Additionally, the DC Department of Behavioral Health will continue to operate the 24-hour Mental Health Hotline, which can be reached by calling 1-888-793-4357, for anyone who is feeling anxious or depressed or wants to talk about their mental health before it gets to a crisis”.
