October is National Depression & Mental Health Screening Month, a time to check in with yourself and the people you care about. Mental health screenings can help you recognize signs of depression, anxiety, substance use and other concerns, and connect with support when you need it.

At IWS Family Health, we provide comprehensive, integrated Behavioral Health services alongside our other clinical services, so your mental health is always at the center of our whole-person care model.

Use the attached self-screening activity from Magellan Health to get started. You can also talk with your IWS Family Health provider about your mental health and whether additional support may be right for you.

Taking a screening is a simple step toward understanding your mental health and getting the care you deserve.

Octubre es el Mes Nacional de la Depresión y la Salud Mental, un momento para hacer una pausa y revisar cómo se sienten usted y las personas que quiere. Las evaluaciones de salud mental pueden ayudarle a reconocer señales de depresión, ansiedad, uso de sustancias y otras preocupaciones, y a encontrar apoyo cuando lo necesite.

En IWS Family Health, ofrecemos servicios integrales de Salud Conductual junto con otros servicios médicos. Esto nos permite cuidar su salud mental como parte importante de su salud y bienestar general.

Use la actividad de autoevaluación de Magellan Health que se incluye para comenzar. También puede hablar con su proveedor de IWS Family Health sobre su salud mental y preguntar si necesita apoyo adicional.

Hacerse una evaluación es un paso sencillo para conocer mejor su salud mental y recibir la atención que necesita.

We’re grateful to Jewel-Osco for supporting Janie’s Kitchen Food Pantry and helping make nutritious food more accessible to the families we serve.

Access to healthy food is an important part of good health. When families have reliable access to nutritious meals and the foods they need, they have more opportunities to support their health and well-being.

Through Janie’s Kitchen Food Pantry, IWS Family Health helps connect families with food and resources that can support their health beyond the exam room.

Thank you, Jewel-Osco, for helping us make food access part of whole-person care and for investing in the health of our community.

This National Midwifery Week, we’re celebrating the midwives who help make compassionate, culturally responsive maternity care possible for families in our community.

We’re especially grateful for our clinical partners at Illinois Masonic Medical Center and Humboldt Park Health and their midwifery teams for providing experienced maternal health care and treatment to IWS Family Health patients. Their expertise and commitment help ensure our patients receive the thoughtful, supportive, and respectful care they deserve.

Thank you to all the midwives who care for families, helping them feel empowered, informed, and included throughout their pregnancy.

This week, we’re taking a moment to celebrate and thank the incredible Physician Assistants (PA) who make a difference in the lives of our patients and staff every day. PAs play an important role in making our high-quality care more accessible, especially as the need for health care providers continues to grow.

The Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) projects a shortage of 37,000 to 124,000 physicians by 2034, while PA employment is expected to grow by 31% by 2030. As demand for healthcare services continues to rise, PAs play a vital role in expanding access to care and helping meet workforce needs.

Thank you to our amazing PAs for their expertise, compassion, and dedication! You bring joy to every patient you serve, and we’re so grateful!

September is National Recovery Month, a time to recognize the many paths to recovery, reduce stigma, and raise awareness about the support and resources available to people experiencing substance use challenges.

At IWS Family Health, we recognize that recovery from substance use is a personal journey that can look different for everyone. Compassionate behavioral health care, connection to resources, and ongoing support can help people take steps toward their recovery and building a healthier life.

This week, we’re joining the National Council for Mental Wellbeing and Optimity for the National Council x Optimity 2026 Challenge, happening Sept. 24–30. The free, interactive challenge features daily quizzes and activities that explore recovery, challenge common misconceptions, and share ways to support people in recovery.

September is Su***de Prevention Month,a time to raise awareness about the support and resources available to those who may be struggling.

At IWS Family Health, we believe mental health is an important part of whole-person health, and everyone deserves compassionate, respectful support.

If you are struggling, reaching out to someone you trust is an important first step.

If someone you care about is struggling, listen without judgment, ask how they are doing, and help them connect with support.

Small moments of connection can make a meaningful difference. If you or someone you know is in immediate danger, call or text 988 for the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline.
