Original caption
Josh’s dad wrote a beautiful piece on the loss of his son. He included the following about resources for people struggling with mental health “There is help out there for mental health issues like depression and social anxiety. The National alliance on Mental Illness is an excellent place to start: nami.org NAMI has a warm line that people can call to talk. They have many peer-to-peer and family to family resources. Just talking to friends or family about problems can help us cope. There is free talk and chat support on bewellline.com Therapists are invaluable resources. Medical plans are required to offer mental health aid, but we must be persistent to get the help we need. If someone is feeling down and needs to talk, call 988.” #privatechef #fourthofjuly #MentalHealth #cheflife ♥️🤍🩵
