Sidney Artist's Mixed-Media Piece Selected for 2024 Art of Recovery Directors' Award
2024 Directors' Award "Mirror," by Jo'Elle Boroff
|
A mixed-media painting and collage piece by Sidney artist Jo'Elle Boroff was selected for the 2024 Directors' Award for the artwork that best represents recovery at the Tri-County Board of Recovery and Mental Health Services Annual Meeting and Artists' Reception October 24.
Boroff describes the work as: "This painting portrays the inner demons of the mind that once haunted me. Words that shattered me, convincing me I was a monster, causing me to lose myself. However, within this artwork, you witness a journey towards reconciling with these demons and embracing words of strength. It's about summoning the bravery to confront the reflection within." The art will be used in promotional materials for the 2025 Art of Recovery exhibit. |

Men's Mental Health Awareness

Although men are more likely to suffer “deaths of despair” including alcoholism, overdose and suicide, they are far less likely than women to seek out mental health services. Undiagnosed and untreated mood disorders in young men are associated with impaired learning, risk-taking behaviors, use of substances and violence. Adult men with chronic diseases like diabetes and cardiovascular disease have worse outcomes when they also suffer from depression, and depression is associated with decreased longevity in older men.
According to Mental Health America, the five major mental health problems affecting men are:

Managing Traumatic Stress After Severe Weather

It is normal to be fearful when severe weather threatens, and anxious in the aftermath when severe weather strikes. However, if your anxiety is interrupting sleep, interfering with your ability to work, or causing difficulties in personal relationships, it may be beneficial to seek professional help.
