The CHAS Foundation

The CHAS Foundation The CHAS Foundation provides resources and support for those suffering from mental illness and their families and caregivers in Hampton Roads Virginia.

The Chas Foundation is a non-profit resource for the mentally ill and their families. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, one in every four American adults is affected by a mental health disorder. That’s one of the four people in line in front of you, one of the four people playing doubles on a tennis court, and one of the four people on your double date. If these statistics surp

rise you, they should, because the subject of mental illness rouses such uncomfortable feelings in people that have long been swept under the rug. It is our hope that through this organization, we can show those who are suffering that they are far from alone, as well as provide information and support for their family members and friends. The Chas Foundation is a non profit organization dedicated to mental illness.

We had a warm but wonderful day yesterday at the 14th Annual CHAS Golf Classic, which was held in memory of our friend Andrew Wilcox. Thanks to all of our sponsors, volunteers and golfers who helped us to make such a memorable event.

With it being Mental Health Awareness Month, I'm sharing this amazing and critical information from our friends at Honest Voice.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month.

Most of us were taught to watch for red flags — the obvious signs that someone is in crisis. Pay attention. Notice the warnings. Step in when things get bad.

That instinct is good. But it has a cost we don't talk about enough.

By the time red flags are visible, the person we love has already been carrying weight for a long time. The "warning signs" we're trained to spot are often the late stages of struggles that started months or years earlier — quietly, in patterns that didn't look like anything at the time.

Waiting for red flags means we're always responding to crisis, never to the conditions that lead to it.

What if we got better at noticing earlier? Not to diagnose. Not to fix. Just to be present before things become urgent.

That's what Before the Red Flags is about — building safer lives, not just spotting signs.

📘 Free Kindle edition May 14–18 on Amazon for Mental Health Awareness Month. Free, because this conversation belongs to everyone.
