May is Mental Health Awareness Month!

Mental illness is nothing to be ashamed of. It is a medical problem, just like heart disease or diabetes. Mental illnesses are health conditions involving changes in emotion, thinking or behavior (or a
combination of these). Mental illnesses are associated with distress and/or problems functioning in social, work or family activities – and they are often accompanied by substance use. It’s critical that we talk about these challenges and that we do so in the right way. Click the link below to learn why changing our thinking, our actions, and our language matters!

Reframing Language
