May is Mental Health
Awareness Month
|
Mental illness is a widespread issue that affects people of all ages, backgrounds and socioeconomic status. According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness, one in five U.S. adults and one in six children between the ages of six and 17 experience mental illness each year. Additionally, the stigma surrounding mental illness causes many to face their mental health challenges for years without help.
PPHD encourages anyone who needs mental health support to seek help.
