All right. Good morning. Good morning, everyone. I'm your Miami-Dade County Mayor, Daniela Levine-Cava. I'm also a social worker. Today, we are launching something very, very important, very important to the senator and I, to all of the members of the advisory board that he created, to all of our employees in Miami-Dade County, to all of our residents, because mental health deeply touches each and every one of us, every family, every neighborhood, every workplace, every school, every house of worship. Health includes emotional and mental health and well-being. And the truth of it is we all go through difficult times, every single one of us. We have stress. We have anxiety, grief, loneliness, depression, trauma. These are human experiences. They are normal and natural experiences. And there should be no shame in talking about them and no shame in asking for help. As a social worker and an attorney, I was trained to recognize the signs when someone is struggling. I spent years sitting with people in some of the hardest moments of their lives. And one lesson has stayed with me. People should never have to suffer alone. Not me, not you, not any of us. And that is why I am so grateful and proud that we have declared Miami-Dade County government to become the first stigma-free community, the largest such community in the nation, to take the stigma-free pledge and, I think, the only public, the only government agency to take the stigma-free pledge. It's alive in this community every single day. And it's a commitment that is woven into what we do in county government. And we build a culture here where our emotional and mental wellness matters as much as our physical health. We treat it with the same urgency, compassion, and care as our physical health because mental health, as I said, is health. And just like any other health challenge, preventive care matters. It's not just when we're in crisis. It's how to identify and work with loved ones and people who can provide us help to make sure that it does not escalate when we are feeling that kind of distress. So we don't want people to wait until there's a crisis. We do not want to wait until the wait feels unbearable. And reaching out early can make all the difference. And so that's why this campaign is called Let's Talk, because conversations really do save lives. It's a simple check-in. A simple how are you really doing can open the door to healing. And we want every resident to know asking for help is not a weakness. It's a strength. It shows courage. And in Miami-Dade, you will be met with compassion, not judgment. So this effort belongs to all of us. Government cannot do it alone. We need our businesses, our faith leaders, schools, health care providers, nonprofits, community organizations, family, neighbors, and our county commission. And this leader, who has always stood strong for these issues. And we're so proud that he's playing such a leadership role. And we together are creating an envelope of caring across all of Miami-Dade County, where people can feel seen, supported, and connected before they ever reach a breaking point. And because we are so beautifully diverse here, this campaign is meeting people where they are, with their language, with their multicultural outreach and messaging. We need a culturally inclusive campaign that reflects everybody. So we want every person in this community to hear this clearly. You are not alone. You matter. And help is here. And with that, I'll turn it over to our sponsor of the legislation that created this, and the advisory group that is launching this campaign. Thank you, Mayor. First of all, I just want to thank the Behavioral Health Advisory Board for further work in getting this campaign to become a reality, the no shame, let's talk. It's important that we start treating mental wellness and mental health as we do any other condition. And we should not exclude physical health from mental health. And it's important that we make sure that we take that as a whole. And far too often in this community, even in our medical community, we've tried to exclude one from the other. And we really have to start treating that as one. That would be another hurdle that we will have to overcome. But right now, the hurdle that we're trying to overcome is the stigma associated with mental wellness and mental health. And it's important that we all have to start talking about it. That's why it's important that, you know, you have a Republican, a Democrat coming together. Because when we look at mental wellness and mental health, it really doesn't matter what party you are, where you live, what area code, zip code you live in, what your demographic, racial background, doesn't matter. It affects us all. And I've always said this time and time again, every single one of us in this room, and those of you that are listening to us on the social platforms right now, we're all one crisis away from having a mental health breakdown. One crisis away from falling in despair. One crisis away from not being able to wake up. One crisis away from being shunned, shunning yourself from your family. And it's important that we recognize that you're not alone. And this is why the Let's Talk campaign is a digital campaign that we're offering to make sure that people understand and realize that there is services available to every single one of us. And especially now, Mayor, that we're talking about the behavioral health building that we have, mental health building that we have. And finally, I think we're going to get it to the final, to the finish line. It's a point that we recognize that we should talk about families as well. It should not be just about the individual, because when someone struggles with mental illness, the whole family suffers. And as a community, we can do much better than we're doing. And we're doing that. And this is why I'm so proud to stand alongside you, Mayor, and stand alongside our Behavioral Health Advisory Board, who have been doing a phenomenal job at making sure that we advocate for those that don't have a voice. And also, we'll be remiss if I don't mention our first responders. Our first responders are often overlooked because of the work that they do. We think that they're strong and bad and nothing's going to affect them. But the reality is that every day, every challenge that they have, it's because of the work and the work that they do every single day. And we never, never can forget that they too suffer. And we see far too often, sometimes even in our own departments, we've seen the tragedies that we've had recently. And I appreciate you, Mayor, for the work that you're doing and the work that's being done with our firefighters and our police department and our sheriff's office to ensure that there are resources available for them and for their families. So again, just want to thank everyone. This is a community effort. We want to make sure we get the word out and the message out to make sure that everyone knows that the resources in Miami-Dade County are available, what they are, and to ensure that they have a place that they can talk. And it's okay to say that you need a little bit of help because we all appear, oh, at some point we've needed to talk to someone. So Mayor, thank you so much. I don't know if Amanda, you want to talk about the details of the campaign itself. Are you good? Yeah, come on. Anything else? I know that the TV just arrived. Do you want to, it's on the next thing? We can do it after we can do it after. Okay, okay, it's okay. Amanda, can you talk about a little bit of the details that we're doing with the campaign? And introduce yourself and your role. Hi, good morning, everyone. My name is Amanda Dominguez, and I am the liaison for the Behavioral Health Advisory Board here with Miami-Dade County as a part of Community Services Department. This campaign is really a public awareness initiative designed to help individuals of all ages and socioeconomic cultural backgrounds to recognize the stigma, right? Let's create awareness and be out in our community. So we really seek to target our audience through a lot of social media platforms. So if you go on Instagram and you follow Behavioral Health MDC, you'll be able to follow us and follow this public awareness campaign. We seek to be a part of the community and integrate into very many different platforms. There are a lot of numerous events coming up. We do have a wonderful collaboration coming up with Jackson this upcoming Friday, as well as a Behavioral Health Board meeting next week on Wednesday. And in the afternoon, we're collaborating with Judge Burday and the court system to be able to provide a resource fair to our community. And of course, in June, we have Patrick Kennedy returning into town for the Action for Progress organization that's going to be partnering with us. So we really look forward to helping everyone and being able to, in collaboration with Jewish Community Services and our 2-1-1, which is a tremendous collaboration and effort to bring these resources county-wide. Thank you, everyone. And she did that without being prepared, without having no excuse. That's how well prepared you are. So that's all. Thank you. Thank you, folks. Just remember. Do we want to see in Spanish? Does anybody need anything? Yeah, I guess do a little bit in Spanish. Do a little Spanish. It's a social media campaign. Okay. It's very important to be together to celebrate the inauguration of our campaign. It's very important to talk about what is in your heart, in your mind, because we all have stress, we are depressed, we are depressed, we have problems, and to solve it we have resources and we need the opportunity to talk. That helps, and also other things, to reduce stress and to the point that many of us can have a crisis, but we also want to prevent a crisis. And that's why with the Comisionado, Senador René García, and his team, his Committee of Bienestar, we have a campaign starting today, which in Spanish is called... No hay vergüenza, ¿no? No hay vergüenza. Vamos a hablar. Vamos a hablar. Y vamos a llegar en comunidades usando los idiomas de la comunidad, en los vecindarios, para que todos puedan saber dónde pueden recibir los recursos y la importancia de pedir ayuda. Gracias, Alcaldesa. Y te digo que le doy la más expresiva gracias por trabajar con nosotros en esta campaña. Lo más importante es reconocer que en estas campañas, que no hay vergüenza, vamos a hablar. Muchas veces en nuestra comunidad, cuando hablamos de la salud mental, nadie quiere hablar de la salud mental, porque es algo que es un tabú, que pensamos que eso es un problema que no me pasa a mí, que le pasa a otro. Mi familia, eso no existe. Pero la realidad es que todos nosotros estamos de una situación grave en nuestras familias, que lo afecte a nosotros de una manera negativa, en tal una depresión que va a ser difícil de salir, y por eso nosotros como comunidad, especialmente una comunidad hispana y latina, tenemos que no tener vergüenza de hablar y buscar los recursos necesarios para ayudar a nuestras familias. Porque todos ustedes, todos los que me escuchan, entienden que cuando uno, un familiar, tiene un problema de la salud mental, una adicción a las drogas, el problema no es solamente del paciente, pero es un problema familiar que afecta a todo el mundo, y por eso es importante reconocer que republicanos y demócratas estamos trabajando juntos para asegurar que los recursos estén disponibles en nuestra comunidad, porque cuando hablamos de la salud mental, no importa si uno es negro, hispano, o blanco, de Asia, no importa donde viva, todos nosotros tenemos la misma propensidad de ser afectados negativamente por la salud mental, y por eso tenemos la campaña ahora que no hay vergüenza, vamos a hablar, de la campaña digital que estamos haciendo, gracias al equipo de nosotros del Advisory Board, que está del Behavioral Health Advisory Board, que patrocinó esta campaña, y también tengo que reconocer a nuestros primeros rescates, que nuestros primeros rescates siempre son una comunidad que siempre no es ignorada, pero pensamos por el trabajo que hacen, que no hace falta traerles recursos a ellos, porque siempre están a la delantera, son fuertes, pero en realidad todo lo que ellos ven durante el transcurso de su carrera, los afecta a ellos, afecta a su familia, y por eso es importante reconocer, y la alcaldesa ha hecho tremenda labor con los bomberos aquí, y también antes que el departamento de Sheriffs se convirtió en un departamento de Sheriffs, asegurar que los recursos estén disponibles para esos hombres y damas, que también le hacen falta, le digo a todo el mundo, muchísimas gracias a ti, y a todos los que están compartiendo en este discurso, porque es importante reconocer que esta comunidad tiene los recursos disponibles, pero hay que la comunidad tiene que saber dónde están, y esto es lo que hace esta campaña. Muchísimas gracias, alcaldesa. Gracias, buen trabajo, all right, buen trabajo, this is a social media campaign, so look at that social media. Yeah. Thank you, Mayor. Do we have it in English? We also have Andres that's here from 211 in the Jewish Community Center, so we'll also talk a little bit about the resources that they have available. That's great, very good. Come on up. It's important to recommend that the services that are available. Very good, 211, our lifeline. Yes, thank you. Mayor, I'm a sensores of your heart. Hi, good morning everyone, so my name is Adrian Marin. I am a licensed mental health counselor with Jewish Community Services of South Florida, and I just wanted to let you know a little bit about our 211 Miami program. It provides 24-7, 357 days of the year information and referrals for all individuals in need of help, support. It's a way to bridge and connect with resources in the community. Many individuals don't know about the services, and we want to use this campaign as a critical point to get the word out there, make sure that people can reach out for any type of support that they might need, but not only includes assistance with finding organizations that may help with finding food, shelter, rent assistance, applications with food stamps, but also crisis counseling through the 988 National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. It's very important that we establish that it's okay not to be okay, just like Mr. Rene Garcia and Mayor Daniela Levin Cava were establishing. Anytime that someone is struggling, there is always an individual that is willing to listen, provide the empathy and nonjudgmental stance that is needed in order to help any one person that's going through a very challenging time in their lives. We provide a lot of trauma-informed care and support for children, adults, adolescents, Holocaust survivors, anyone across the board, and we can provide also a lot of support through our food assistance programs. We have a kosher food bank, and per our mission statement, it is to improve the quality of life of the Jewish and the broader communities throughout South Florida in accordance with our values. So thank you very much for your time. Thank you. Good job. That was awesome. Okay. Any questions? All right, guys. Thank you so much. It was awesome. Thank you. Thank you for your great work, everybody. Can't wait to see this all go live. We're excited.
