September is National Suicide Prevention Month. It's critical to recognize when someone is struggling and get them the help they need. We must all work together to end the stigma surrounding suicide and promote awareness in our communities.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month. Despite recent strides in how our society approaches mental wellbeing, many Americans still don’t have access to the high-quality, comprehensive treatment, and care they need.

DYK that:
- 1 in 5 U.S. adults experience mental illness yearly.

[WV Behavioral Health @WVBHPA]

cont'd:

- Only 47% of U.S. adults with mental illness received treatment in 2021.

Remember, you and your mental health matter. If you are struggling, there is help out there.
