A very important summit the Indianola Chamber and WeLIFT hosted together on May 16th, from 8-11:30 at the Freedom Fellowship Church at 2604 N Jefferson Way, Indianola. 

With the unprecedented mental health crisis currently facing our communities and employers, it’s critical that we, as leaders in the community and in business, continue to educate ourselves on mental illness and the role we can play in navigating circumstances, either personally or with the people that we lead.
