Awareness and Advocacy: May is Mental Health Month

May is National Mental Health Month

"Mental illness is like any other illness and it will eventually break you down if you don't get help," "Counseling is the best path to health because a person can talk with someone who doesn't judge.  Mental Health America states that "Risky Business" are habits and behaviors that increase the risk of developing or exacerbating mental illnesses or could be signs of mental health problems. These include risk factors such as risky sex, prescription drug misuse, internet addiction, excessive spending, marijuana use, and troublesome exercise patterns. 

What can you do for Mental Health Month?
