Wow. The Los Angeles Dodgers have re-signed Outfielder Andrew Toles who has schizophrenia and hasn’t played since 2018, so he would still have access to the team’s health insurance and mental health services. Toles is not expected to play for the Dodgers this season and will likely never play again. Signing with the team will allow him to continue to receive treatment, including counseling, therapy, and medication. The team was first alerted something was wrong when Toles did not report to spring training in 2019. Later, the team learned Toles was found sleeping behind a FedEx building at Key West International Airport. Sadly, Toles is just a shadow of his former self. He was taken to a mental health facility after the incident and the Dodgers recognized the tragic loss of his playing abilities and wanted to ensure he would always have access to care. 2023 is the fifth straight year the Dodgers have re-signed him. This extraordinary story wasn’t learned about for years. It gives you a glimpse that sometimes, good gestures are done for good reasons and not for publicity.

If someone you know was facing a mental health crisis, would you know what to say? The @benicemi program seeks to empower communities with the knowledge to act in those types of situations. miblues.co/3gQtZIF

Reflecting on the highlights of 2021 - the OMS Be Nice Student Group is high on the list! This fall, several Be Nice leaders focused on writing senior citizens in our community on a regular basis. They are spreading the “Be Nice” love that way. #OtsegoPride #BeNice @benicemi
