Mental Health Awareness Month -- End the Stigma!

The pandemic has certainly been trying, as we social distance, cancel gatherings, and wear masks in which we cannot see each other's smiling faces.  While it has been a tough year for all, imagine having a mental health condition during the pandemic.  Social isolation could easily turn into social isolation, causing a downward spiral.  And for others, the pandemic may have put their mental health to the test for the first time, and they did not know how to cope.  For far too long, stigma has inhibited people from reaching out to get the help they need.  Can you help us reverse this trend?  We need to promote the message that mental health IS health.  Together, we can create a healthier, more vibrant future for ourselves, our loved ones, and our community.
