Mental Health Month
May is Mental Health Month and Call to Mind is partnering with MPR News, Classical MPR and The Current to bring you new conversations about mental health. All month we’ll be on social with #TimeToTalk to encourage people to be open about their wellness and mental health. In these uncertain times, it’s more important than ever to be honest about how you’re feeling and check in with your loved ones. We’d love to know how you’re taking #TimeToTalk. Follow us on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook.

Advocates: Pandemic making it harder for domestic violence victims to leave
On a normal day at the Women’s Advocates shelter in St. Paul, there are kids running around inside or playing on the playground in the back — not anymore.
The shelter moved some of its residents to hotels to make sure there’s enough room for people to socially distance during the pandemic. And the people who are in the shelter are having to stay away from each other, too, in the dining room and in other common areas.
Stay-at-home orders allow people to leave abusive situations. But advocates say some victims feel the pandemic has given them fewer options.
Listen to 'Alone Together' with Cantus, including their video of 'She's Leaving Home'
Finding human connection, and love, in this technological age. That's what inspired the all-male ensemble Cantus to create Alone Together. The term, "Alone Together," has taken on new meaning in this age of Covid-19 and social distancing. What does it mean to be "Alone Together," and how do we find that connection? Music helps address those questions in this beautifully crafted program filled with popular music and classical pieces.
