    Welcome to episode 27 of ‘The OK Guard Show’! In this episode we invited John Dixon, Oklahoma National Guard behavioral health specialist, back on the show to talk about COVID Fatigue, cognitive dissonance and ways we can all work together to curb stress and anxiety while trying not to “mask” our true feelings. Remember, you are not alone. There is always someone in your corner, so if you’re having thoughts of suicide or know someone who is, reach out to someone for help and #BeThere. https://youtu.be/bNLTBtpQM48 Resources: OKGuard app - https://ok.ng.mil/app 211Oklahoma.org Military Crisis Line: 1-800-273-TALK (8255).
