October is a big month for mental health, and our Behavioral Health Team is right in the middle of it💙

It’s Depression Awareness Month, ADHD Awareness Month, and National Depression and Mental Health Screening Month. We’re using it to say something simple, your mind deserves the same care as the rest of you.

Say hello to the people who make that care happen! Our Behavioral Health Team supports our patients with depression, ADHD, and a lot more, and they do it with zero judgment.

If you’re one of our patients and you’ve been feeling off lately, or you’ve wondered whether what you’re dealing with is “bad enough” to ask for help, please let us know. Mention it at your next visit, or message your care team through MyChart. No question is too small.

📞 Call our direct extension at 1720 during business hours and ask to speak with a BH Clinician.
🚶 Or walk in to the health center and ask to be connected with us. You don’t need an appointment with your medical provider that day.

If you or someone you love is in crisis, call or text 988 anytime, day or night.

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

Abuse isn’t only physical. It can look like being cut off from friends, having your phone monitored, or having your money controlled. If that sounds familiar, or you’re worried about someone else, you don’t have to figure it out alone.

If you’re in danger, call 911. For confidential support, call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233 or text START to 88788.

Today is Cerebral Palsy Awareness Day 💚

Cerebral palsy touches millions of lives, and no two look alike. Some use a wheelchair, some walk with a little extra support, some communicate in their own way. Every single one of them navigates the world with a quiet kind of strength.

Awareness isn't a one-day thing. It's a daily choice to see people fully.
