Help is available
Mental illnesses are very common. One in five adults lives with a mental illness.
Mental illnesses do not discriminate. They could affect you, your sibling, parent, grandparent, friend, neighbor or coworker. They affect teachers, doctors, parents, lawyers, business owners and students. They affect many aspects of a person’s life, including work, school, home and relationships. Sometimes people with mental illnesses are labeled as being lazy or having low motivation. People living with mental illnesses can and do recover with access to treatment, services and supports. We are here to help. We are dedicated to assisting you in finding ways to help you achieve recovery. Call the office listed or visit our official website to learn more.
