Note from the Editor

May is Mental Health Awareness Month

by Carolyn Riel

I remember having a conversation with one of my cousins only a month or two before the COVID-19 pandemic began in 2020, and she told me that she started seeing a therapist, that it was a very beneficial experience.

“What are you going for?” I asked in much the same way you see prisoners ask cellmates “what are you in for?” in movies and TV shows.

“Nothing in particular, just my overall mental health,” she said. “We put so much time, money, and effort into maintaining our physical health by paying for a gym membership, spending time lifting weights and eating healthy. Why don’t we put the same energy into improving and maintaining our mental health?”

Blog Highlight

Here's what's been published on the ACDIS Blog in the last week:

Do you have a tip, story, or perspective to share with the broader ACDIS and CDI community? If you’re interested in writing a piece for the Blog, here are a couple guidelines for you:

  • Length: Typically, 500-700 words. If your post is longer, we may break it into two posts for readability.
  • Content: All things CDI (and coding too)! We love hearing about your experiences and the lessons you’ve learned about CDI along the way.

Besides those two guidelines, all you have to do is submit your piece to ACDIS Editor Linnea Archibald (larchibald@acdis.org) and Associate Editor Carolyn Riel (criel@acdis.org).
