July is National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month. For too long, stigma has prevented people from seeking the care they deserve. This administration has helped change that by expanding access to services like opening our first transitional house, hosting our first Mental Health Town Hall this spring, and providing free telehealth therapy for employees. Now, we look forward to opening the Shelby County Government Mental Health Safety and Justice Center later this year.

Mental health matters everyday, but this month hits a little different, it’s Mental Health Awareness Month. 💚

At Youth Connect, supporting young people is what we do best. So this is your reminder to check in on a young person, start the conversation, share a resource, or tell them about Youth Connect.

Small moments can make a big difference. Breaking the stigma starts with you!!
