The Make It OK campaign in Iowa, led by the Healthiest State Initiative is hosting a six-week virtual mental health series, in tandem with the Greater Des Moines Partnership and Capital Crossroads, titled ?6 Weeks of Make It OK.?
6 Weeks of Make It OK: Week 6 ? Make It OK during COVID: Join us for a panel discussion on your overall health during COVID. You?ll hear from a doctor, a member of the Iowa Department of Health team, and a dentist on what they?ve seen, heard and recommend to all individuals as we live and work through COVID. We?ll have 45 minutes of discussion and 15 minutes for open Q&A. This session is free to attend. Register at the link!
October 1: Week 6: mental health and overall health in the midst of COVID / Your Life Iowa and free counseling for all Iowans
Dr. Yogesh Shah, Chief Medical Officer at Broadlawns Medical Center
Destinee Woodris, Zero Suicide Project Evaluator at Iowa Department of Public Health
Dr. Lauren Patrick, Dentist at University Dental Group
The goal of ?6 Weeks of Make It OK? is to have conversations around mental health that look at how we cope with our own well-being. Collective and individual mental health is fundamental to how we think, work, and interact with our families, friends, colleagues and greater community. We?ll hear stories from community members and discuss ideas for taking care of our own mental health (or the mental health of others). This will be a mix of panel and speaker led sessions, with time at the end for Q&A. Additional resources will also be shared at the end of each session.
About Make It OK: Make It OK is national campaign to reduce stigma by starting conversations and increasing understanding about mental illness. The campaign was created and launched by HealthPartners in Minnesota in 2012 before being introduced to Iowa in May 2019. Since then, the Make It OK message already reached more than 2,000 Iowans through formal presentations and 165 Make It OK Ambassadors have been trained.
Led by Make It OK, this 6-week series is supported by Capital Crossroads, the Greater Des Moines Partnership, Mid-Iowa Health, and the Business Record.

During this session of Conversation in Color, Kimberly Davis will discuss the unrelenting commitment that is required of bold and courageous leaders to transform this ?Moment to a Movement?, and to turn the emotion of the past 7 months into ACTION!
We?ve all been forced to confront the levels and issues of racism, and in many ways those in positions of power have pledged to use their platforms and privilege to effect change. For this heightened resolve to be sustainable, what will be required? New structures? Enhanced levels of allyship? The courage and communication to interrogate our own ?models, behaviors and attitudes?? Not easy work, but all necessary WORK!
