The theme for this year’s Mental Health Awareness Month is “Take the Moment”. Take the Moment means that everyone needs to make time for their mental well-being. It also means taking the moment to ask others how they are doing and also knowing that it is ok to not to be ok.
Macedonia FACE is integrating Mental Wellness across all of our services by training our staff to be aware of mental stress in our consumers, to add mental wellness activities to our family services, and to build relationships with culturally competent professional mental health providers to refer to when needed. This effort is making a difference. Sometimes just asking a simple question opens doors to improved mental wellness. A FACE consumer recently called to thank our Case Management Supervisor, Amy Wedner. When Amy asked what the consumer was thanking her for, the consumer said, “For asking me how I’m really doing”. Look for upcoming free events for all ages hosted by FACE to promote family joy and mental well-being.
