Vermonters with disabilities, chronic health conditions, caregiving responsibilities, and other life experiences often face difficult choices when it comes to work, health, recovery, and financial stability.

The “802 Reasons” campaign is collecting personal stories from Vermonters about paid leave, caregiving, illness, recovery, and the realities many people face when support systems fall short. Sharing lived experiences can help bring visibility to barriers that are too often invisible until someone experiences them firsthand.

It's Mental Health Awareness Month. And Noah Kahan's new album The Great Divide does what the month rarely does: actually keeps going past "it's okay not to be okay."

My latest Modern Loss newsletter is on the grief that comes with funerals and the grief that doesn't. The losses that don't qualify for sympathy cards. Canvas tents on Lake George. And the ripple effect one brave artist will never fully see.

"Kahan opens up about struggles with body dysmorphia and disordered eating, pivotal moments of his childhood and related family dynamics, the impact of fame on his relationships and self-preservation, and how he attempts to stay grounded through it all."

Vermont's very own! Thank you, Noah Kahan, for your music and emphasis on mental health and showing vulnerability, especially as it relates to focusing attention on men's mental health. We encourage everyone to support and to watch Noah's Netflix documentary that is out now. We appreciate you!

"Noah Kahan: Out of Body, now streaming, finds Kahan at a crossroads in the wake of the breakout success of Stick Season. After a whirlwind year of sold-out tours and unprecedented acclaim, he returns to his Vermont roots and family. Buoyed by his uncanny wit, he searches for a sense of home and creative inspiration as he confronts the deeply personal struggles that have left him out of sync with himself."

Forgive the Northern attitude — the singer is ready to open up.
