Feeling "off" lately? Losing interest in things you used to enjoy?

We all have tough days. But when these feelings stick around for weeks, it may be more than daily stress.

This Depression and Mental Health Screening Month, take a moment to learn the signs of depression and pay attention to how you feel. A mental health screening can help you better understand your symptoms and provide a pathway to treatment and recovery. It's a simple first step to connect you with the right support.

Bullying can stick with kids and teens long after the moment has passed. It can affect how they feel about themselves, their relationships and even how comfortable they feel at school or online.

This National Bullying Prevention Month, let’s remind young people that kindness, acceptance and inclusion matter. And if bullying is taking a toll on their mental health, they don’t have to work through those feelings alone.

Kids who have been bullied should know it's OK to talk about it. Start the conversation. We're here to help. 💙

On National Law Enforcement Su***de Awareness Day, we recognize all those who are struggling, and we remember those behind the badge who have fallen to su***de.

Mental health challenges affect too many law enforcement workers that are trying serve, help and strengthen their communities. Here at Hartgrove Behavioral Health System, we're very proud to partner with several police departments and other law enforcement agencies throughout the state, and we want everyone who serves to know that we care.

We know and understand the difficult tasks officers face every single day. Those who protect us need to be protected, too. If you know someone who works in law enforcement, check in on them, and then let them know they're doing a good job and you appreciate them. 💙
