HelpLine will hold its 4th annual Guardians for Good Awards Celebration at noon on Tuesday, Nov. 29, (Giving Tuesday) at Ohio Wesleyan University’s Hamilton Williams Campus Center. The event is free and open to the public, however requires registration. Lunch will be provided.

Guardians for Good honors community members who have demonstrated exemplary service, sponsorship, and social activism on behalf of HelpLine. Leveraging compassion, advocacy and financial resources, Guardians seek to bring about change through the power of kindness.

This year’s event will feature keynote Gabe Howard, an award-winning podcast host, author, and speaker who lives with bipolar disorder. Howard will share his story about living openly with a mental illness, affirming the event theme, “Let’s Talk: Mental Health Recovery and Suicide Prevention.” Howard will mirror the style of his weekly “Inside Mental Health” podcast which approaches psychology and mental health in an accessible way. Howard defines his recovery as “spending more time living life than managing bipolar.”

WSYX ABC 6 and Fox 28 News co-anchors Stacia Naquin and Bob Kendrick will serve as emcees. The celebration will also be live-streamed on the Facebook YouTube channel.
