DID YOU KNOW??????
- 1 in 6 U.S. youth experience a mental health condition each year, and only half of them receive treatment.
- Mental illness knows no race, no gender, no sexual orientation, no socioeconomic status, etc.
- 50% of all lifetime mental illness begins by age 14.
- Suicide is the 2nd leading cause of death among 10 to 24 year-olds.
Mental health is the ability to have motivation to engage in life, to control your behaviors, experience a manageable range of emotions, and tolerate distress in healthy ways. Maintaining one’s mental health is a job in its own and requires deliberate planning and management. It starts with awareness and seeking help if needed.
If you are in crisis, call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK (8255) or http://www.suicidepreventionlifeline.org Know the signs. https://afsp.org/risk-factors-protective-factors-and-warning-signs
If you have questions or concerns about your son's mental health, please contact us by phone or in person. Know the signs. https://www.nami.org/About-Mental-Illness/Warning-Signs-and-Symptoms
We want to help. Together we can raise awareness and stop the stigma related to mental health.
God bless! #Together4MH
