New Palm Beach County Behavioral Health Magazine,
The Well of PBC, to Launch on Facebook Live October 13, 2021
WHAT: At a time when conversations about behavioral health are becoming more prevalent around dinner tables and in the workplace, a new online publication called The Well of PBC is launching to share insights, experiences and resources from Palm Beach County residents and professionals alike. The first issue will be released on October 13, 2021, at an online Facebook Live launch party where the publishers and editor will provide the vision and mission of the publication, introduce contributors, and reveal the first issue.
WHEN: Wednesday, October 13, 2021, 6:00 p.m.
WHERE: Online at Facebook Live. Register at thewellofpbc.eventbrite.com.
WHY: The idea for The Well of PBC was driven by the outpouring of collaboration from community members and leaders joining together through BeWellPBC to open conversations, remove stigma and create comprehensive behavioral health solutions that promote the wellbeing of all Palm Beach County residents. What is unique about BeWellPBC, and is prevalent throughout The Well of PBC, is “lived experts” (people who have experienced behavioral health challenges) and “learned experts” (behavioral health professionals and system leaders) coming together to learn from each other. The articles in the first issue cover the behavioral health topics that are top of mind coming out of the pandemic. Stories about mourning, self-care, workplace culture, teens, faith, and more are written by and for Palm Beach County residents with professionals contributing their insight and resources.
WHO: The local bimonthly publication is the brainchild of BeWellPBC, a countywide behavioral health initiative engaging residents, providers, and systems to address community needs. Julie Khanna, CEO of Khanna Connections, serves as editor-in-chief.
