Speaker: Russell Macapaz Tal, Regional Sales Manager
Please introduce yourself, and share why you choose to support NAMI.
Russell Macapaz Tal: Hi, my name is Russell. And I chose to support Nammy because I believe it's important for everyone to be. Open about their mental health, mental health affects everyone, and the more we talk about it, the less stigma it is for folks to talk about what they're going through in their lives because everyone has. Things to deal with on a day to day basis, and we can heal each other if we talk about it more with each other and find solutions. For my mental health, I like to exercise and go on long walks with my two rescues. I also like to do art therapy. I've been doing coloring books for the past 10 years. It allows me to meditate. And focus on my breathing and have fun. And last but not least, I like to cook at home. Um, it allows me to have mindful eating habits, and sometimes I cook comfort foods and it brings good memories. So that is why I've been on a really good path for my mental health journey, and I hope that folks can have the same experience in their lifetime.
