Madison County Rural Health Council is proud to host Beyond the Storm: Breaking Through the Chaos — An Evening of Hope, Healing and Advocacy.
Beyond the Storm is an evening centered on hope, healing, meaningful conversation, and community connection. The event will bring together community members, local leaders, businesses, organizations, and partners to create space for open conversations about mental health, recovery, resilience, and advocacy. The evening’s featured speaker will be Cohen Miles-Rath, MSW, author of Mending Reality. Miles-Rath has been featured in The New York Times, Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard, and Psychology Today, sharing his experiences and perspective around mental health, healing, and recovery.“Beyond the Storm is about reminding people that difficult seasons do not have to define what comes next. We want this evening to create connection, encourage honest conversations, and leave people feeling hopeful about what is possible for themselves, their families, and their communities.”
