World Mental Health Day

October 10th is recognized as #WorldMentalHealthDay helping bring awareness to mental health issues around the world. In a busy world of pandemics, long work days, and daily errands, it’s important to take the time to check in with ourselves. How about your friends and family? Are they okay?
From ACTION rehab for those struggling with substance and alcohol abuse, to mental health support classes offered at Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital, help is out there. And in the hardest moments, the “National Suicide Prevention Lifeline” is available for anyone struggling with thoughts of suicide, depression or other mental health challenges. By simply dialing 9-8-8, you will be connected with a trained counselor providing support and resources. All calls are free and confidential.
Take the day to talk about mental health with your loved ones and encourage ways of support for those in need.
