In 2020, 16-year-old Ava McCarville hit her lowest point. She didn't care about graduating from Maryvale High School. Stopped talking to friends. Today, she's on track to graduate. She credits @CompeerBuffalo with helping her make it through. #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth @WKBW

It’s easy to feel a little disconnected these days, so we teamed up with @CompeerBuffalo and @UWBEC to produce these cards that put mental health at the forefront. Remember to check in with your loved ones and know that we’re in this together! #MentalHealthAwarenessDay

Father's Day can be a celebration for some, but for others it can be a difficult time. If you know someone who may be struggling this #FathersDay, reach out to them and let them know that whatever they're going through, it's okay to say.
