This Sunday
May is Mental Health Awareness Month
Mental health affects all of us. Even if you don’t have a mental health condition, you more than likely know someone with a mental health condition. Statistics show that 1 in 5 U.S. adults experience mental illness each year and 1 in 6 U.S. youth aged 6-17 experience a mental health disorder each year. (Mental Health By the Numbers | NAMI)
Why is it important to talk about it?
If we talk about mental health it helps to lessen the stigma of mental illnesses. This is important because those experiencing mental illness need to know: You Are Not Alone.
Throughout this month Midway will provide research-based facts, resources, and encouragement to help those caring for or living with mental illnesses.
988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline
Need to talk?
Midway’s Stephen Ministers provide high-quality, one-to-one, Christ-centered care to people in the congregation and the community experiencing life difficulties.
Contact Jane Scudder (jmscudd@midwayumc.org ) for more information.
