May was mental health awareness month. With recent events, we are aware of the mental health issue more than ever. In May we hired a mental health counsoler, Elizabeth Webb, to join our clinical team of experts. She wil begin seeing children and families soon. With this exapnded clinical service we wil be able to provide educational evaluations, counseling, and diagnosing.
Did you know that 1:10 chidren are effected by mental health issues, and 1:5 adults experience mental illness?
Yet, 60% of children exposed to mental health illness are unable to recieve treatment, and 56% of adults are unable to recieve treatment. *
