This week is Mental Illness Awareness Week, a national effort, established by Congress in 1990 thanks to the National Alliance on Mental Illness's advocacy, dedicated to raising awareness and fighting stigma around mental illness.
Mental health affects everyone. While 1 in 5 U.S. adults experiences a mental health condition each year, the impact reaches far beyond just the individual. It touches friends, family, coworkers, and everyone who supports them.
Mental health is something we all experience, manage, and need support with at different points in our lives. No one should have to face these challenges alone.
If you or a loved one is struggling, help is available.
