Stigmas associated with seeking care for substance use disorders & mental illness can impact the rate at which care, treatment, & resources are sought.

For this #MentalIllnessAwarenessWeek, DBH says NO to stigmatizing behavioral healthcare and treatment.

This!

[Dan Rather @DanRather]

As people celebrate, please remember we are in the midst of a raging and resurgent pandemic. Wear masks, keep your distance, live to fight for the future.

[mkgaswirth @mauragaswirth]

Yes!

[Dan Rather @DanRather]

Ok, 2020. That was something good.

[Kamala Harris @KamalaHarris]

This election is about so much more than @JoeBiden or me. It’s about the soul of America and our willingness to fight for it. We have a lot of work ahead of us. Let’s get started.

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

What we need in America is leadership that seeks to de-escalate tensions, to open lines of communication, and to bring us together. To heal — and to hope.

As president, that is precisely what I will do.

[Dan Rather @DanRather]

I’ve covered Democratic and Republican presidents. There were norms, even when they were pushed and stretched. What we are witnessing today is unlike anything we have seen before. And the press should frame it accordingly.
