Mental Health Impact
Why is your mental health important?
Mental health is an important part of overall health and well-being. Poor mental health increases the risk for long-lasting (chronic) physical conditions like heart disease, stroke, and cancer.
Increase Your Understanding
What causes mental illness?
Mental illness is caused by a number of factors including biological factors, stressful or traumatic life events, and long-lasting health conditions. It is estimated that more than one in five adults in the United States live with a mental health condition.
Addressing Mental Health is Imperative
Suicide prevention begins with all of us.
Suicide is the 2nd leading cause of death among people ages 15-34 in the United States. It is estimated that 1 person dies by suicide every 11 minutes a day in the United States. To become an active member in suicide prevention efforts, visit our Trainings page and become a certified gatekeeper.
It Starts With Us
Be supportive.
If you know someone who is struggling with their mental health, you can help by reaching out and offering them support. Support can be provided by letting them know that help is available and encouraging them to access mental health services.
