Game changers in Zeeland memory and mental health push
Lori Kroll recalls Zach Kroll’s life as a beacon of joy amid grief and mental illness. A 2019 Love and Lean Walk united 150 participants to raise awareness for the Mental Health Foundation of West Michigan and the Be Nice initiative. Speakers urged recognizing low mood, inviting conversations, challenging stigma, and empowering help seeking. Local organizers Benice and Be Nice chapters promote awareness through community action.
