Mental health includes our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel, and act. Mental health is important at every stage of life, from childhood and adolescence through adulthood. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), mental illnesses are among the most common health conditions in the United States. Providing support and resources to our community members who are diagnosed with a mental illness is vital.
