You can help United Way of Lake County change the conversation around mental health in our community.
In times of crisis, it’s especially important to support mental health. Studies show that one in five adults experience mental illness, yet less than half receive the support they need.
Many individuals do not seek mental health treatment because of a lack of resources or the feared stigma attached to mental illness.
What You Can Do to Change the Conversation
The social distancing our community is currently practicing due to the pandemic can lead to increased feelings of fear, anxiety, depression, boredom, anger, frustration, irritability and even stigmitization. Learn to recognize these feelings and reach out to family, friends or other people in your support network or a trained professional to talk about your mental health.
