Since 1949, May has been deemed Mental Health Month. It’s a time to spread the word that mental wellness is not only something everyone should care about, but a time to raise awareness, share stories, celebrate recovery and fight stigma. Mental wellness is essential to a person’s overall health. Mental Health Month also raises awareness of trauma and the impact it can have on the mental well-being of children, adults and families, along with their communities.
Prevention is key, and there are numerous effective treatments to aid people in their recovery from mental disorders, to enable them to live full and productive lives. We need to constantly work on our mental wellness, as practice makes progress. ABMHS offers many programs to help put this into action: a variety of wellness groups virtually and in person (depression, anxiety, loss of a loved one to suicide, groups for the BIPOC, LGBTQ and disability communities), a variety of mental health services (Peer Support, Case Management, Counseling, CBRS, and TCC), . Please visit our website at www.abmhealthservices.com to view all of our services.
ABMHS is here to help you and serve the community, but we need your help to continue providing our valuable services. Mental Health America’s 2023 Mental Health Month campaign is focused on taking some time to look around and look within. Please take some time to check in on others and check in on your own mental health.
