Kent State alumna Ya’el Courtney overcame hardship after leaving foster care at 15 by earning her GED and graduating in 2019 while studying biology at Kent State—she researched neuroscience at Harvard and is now a postdoctoral scholar at Stanford investigating long COVID symptoms.

At TownHall II Integrated Health Services, local artist Kimberly Henderson began painting a 90×30 wall with her interactive Bipolar Butterfly mural to promote mental health.

The project started on June 10 and will finish by the end of June — marking the first display of her work in Portage County.
