May is Mental Health Awareness Month—a time to focus on emotional well-being, break down stigma, and support one another in seeking help and healing. This year, however, Mental Health Month hits closer to home. As many of our communities across Kentucky grapple with the aftermath of recent devastating tornadoes, the topic of mental health becomes not only timely but deeply personal.

At People Plus, we’ve always believed in the power of people—our strength, our resilience, and our ability to lift each other up in times of crisis. We also recognize that in the wake of natural disasters, emotional aftershocks can be just as real and lasting as physical ones.

It is with heavy hearts that we remember and celebrate the life of Adrian Boyd, a beloved member of the People Plus family who recently headed Home on February 10, 2025.
