During the month of May we will be sharing facts and resources related to mental health on our social media and in our newsletter.

For too long there has been a stigma related to mental health care. Mental health care is health care, plain and simple. We hope that as we share this information that you will learn along with us, and hopefully gain some tools that may help with your own mental well being.

What will people think?

One of the reasons we have been sharing about mental health care is to reduce the stigma surrounding it. This article details some ways that we can all play a part in the process.
