Advocacy
Be counted among those who join with others to seek help for mental illnesses, affect positive changes in the mental health system, help increase public understanding of mental illnesses as biological brain disorders, and erase the pervasive stigma about mental illnesses.
Approximately one in five adults and one in ten children has a diagnosable mental illness in any given year.
A combination of good support system, medication, therapy, along with social and vocational rehabilitation has been proven to be effective in treating these illnesses.
