On Wednesday, July 3rd, the All Request Mental Health Day is back! If you want to hear a specific song, call 502-814-WFPK (9375) and share your request. Tune in from 6 a.m. until 6 p.m. to listen to a full day of song requests. You can also email your request to studio@wfpk.org or record a voice memo on your phone and send it to the same email address for a chance to hear it on air. Don’t miss out on this special day dedicated to mental health and music.
WFPK Mental Health Day is sponsored by CCLOU, whose support highlights the importance of mental health awareness. Connect with WFPK on Facebook and Instagram and use #WFPKMentalHealthDay to join the conversation online.
It’s crucial to have resources available for you, your family, and your friends when dealing with mental health issues. The National Suicide & Crisis Lifeline is available by calling or texting 9-8-8, while the Louisville Suicide Prevention Lifeline can be reached by texting LOU to 741741. Other resources include the Kentucky chapter of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, Seven Counties Services, Mental Health Lou, the Veterans Crisis and Military Crisis Line, the Kentucky Nurses Association, and more.
Part of supporting mental health is listening to others and understanding their experiences. If you have privilege, take the time to educate yourself, support Black people and people of color, and work towards creating lasting changes in your community to fight against racism.
During WFPK Mental Health Day on July 3rd from 6a-6p tune in for all requests! Call 502-814-WFPK (9375) or email [studio@wfpk
