Mental Health

May is Mental Health Awareness Month. There are many different types of Mental Health Issues. This month we will discuss Mental Health in general to not only help to make us more aware, but also to give us some information to help us start to accept the issues that are out there.

Homelessness and Addiction

Two big issues for teens are homlessness and addiction. Sometimes because of addiction related issues with family members or themselves, teens find themselves homeless. This month we will take a look at these two issues to create an understanding and acceptance.

Mental health includes our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel, and act. The National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) is our featured resource this quarter while we talk about the importance of mental health and how to obtain help.
