Suicide is a growing concern in our society. It's often not until it affects someone we know that we realize just how close to home it can hit. While there has been an increase in Mental Health Advocacy, safe spaces for individuals battling with Mental Health are still few and far between. Unfortunately, therapy is viewed as something only for the "Elite" or as a last resort. But therapy works. It saves lives. It transforms individuals. It's a necessity. Let's normalize subscribing to therapy. #Selfharm #suicide #therapy #maymentalhealthawarenessmonth

Did you know 1 in 5 adults in the U.S. experience mental illness and 1 in 20 adults will experience serious mental illness (SMI) each year? And yet, only 47.2% of adults with mental illness received treatment in 2021, according to the National Alliance on Mental Health. Knowing the signs of mental illness, openly discussing mental illness with friends and family, and increasing awareness of available resources are critical to closing this gap. This #MentalIllnessAwarenessWeek, check in on your well-being and the well-being of others. Integrity House’s Newark-based Certified Community Behavioral Health Center (CCBHC) offers rapid access to compassionate outpatient mental health and supportive services.

Let’s Talk About Reducing Stigma for #MenMentalHealth Challenging the stigma associated with mental health is crucial. Society needs to shift its perception of masculinity to include emotional expression and vulnerability as strengths rather than weaknesses. Public awareness campaigns, education, and advocacy can help normalize conversations about mental health and suicide. #WellnessPride
