Today, we acknowledge National Mental Health day to help bring awareness to mental health issues in the world. These are issues that many people face daily, even in our own community.

We prioritize our physical health, and sometimes forget that our mental health matters just as much. There is often a social stigma around mental health issues, so we are here to advocate for the mental wellness of our community members.

If you or someone you know is in need of mental health assistance or services, here are a few resources:

• 988 Su***de & Crisis Lifeline: Call or text 988 (available 24/7, free, and confidential).

• SAMHSA’s National Helpline: Call 1-800-662-HELP (4357)

• Crisis Text Line: Text HOME or SERVE to 741741 to connect with a crisis counselor.

• NAMI HelpLine: Call 1-800-950-NAMI (6264) or email [email protected] (Monday–Friday, 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. ET) for peer support and educational resources through the National Alliance on Mental Illness.
