May is Mental Health Awareness Month. The last 8 months have been particularly stressful for everyone in Western North Carolina, as we continue to cope with the fallout from Hurricane Helene. During the storm and the days and weeks that followed, many stepped up and went the extra mile to support officers and their mental wellness. We'll talk with four of them, Sgt. Brandon Shope, Officer Trainee Maria Bengel, Business Coordinator Crystal Simpson, and Mental Health Clinician Joellen Rhyndress from Responder Services. 

From the Community Engagement Division, Sgt. Lucas Lovelace lays out Asheville's districts, the officers assigned to them, what they do, and how to get in touch with them. And in another edition of the "History Minute with Hannah Silberman”, we discuss the now-defunct Mounted Patrol.
