Mental Health Month

#BackToBasics

May is Mental Health Month. Mental health should be a priority for everyone.

It’s important that we start by getting the basics right, like strategies to achieve strong mental health or the ability to recognize warning signs.

Feeling like something “isn’t quite right”?

#BackToBasics

Taking a free, anonymous mental health screen at mhascreening.org is one of the quickest and easiest ways to determine if what you are experiencing might be signs of a mental health condition.

Screening can help catch mental health problems early.

Get screened at mhascreening.org.

A screening only takes a few minutes, and after you are finished you will be given information about the next steps you should take based on the results.

Mental Health Month Fast Fact

#BackToBasics

It is important to know that experiencing these factors doesn’t mean that you’ll definitely develop a mental health condition.

You can take steps to reduce your risk factors or increase your protective factors – like building supportive relationships, taking care of your body, and practicing gratitude.

Just like any health condition, knowing the risk factors can help you identify and address symptoms early on and plan a course of action to overall health.
