Asthma and allergies can impact everything from sleep and school to work, exercise, and everyday life.

And with climate change leading to longer pollen seasons, more people are dealing with allergy symptoms and asthma flare-ups each year.

🌿 Allergy symptoms can range from mild to severe
🌿 Symptoms can sometimes look like a cold or flu
🌿 Uncontrolled asthma can lead to emergency room visits or hospitalization

Take symptoms seriously — and know when to seek help.

You can help spread the word! We’re offering CRC yard signs and invite you to place them at your organization, in your yard, or in any high visibility community area throughout the month of May.

Your participation helps ensure more residents across DuPage County know about the lifesaving services available at the CRC.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month. 💚💚

May is Awareness Month. This month is dedicated to educating the community and reducing mental health stigma. It's okay not to be okay, but it is essential to recognize the signs and symptoms of mental illness in ourselves and others to get the help we need.

Some people suffer in silence, so always remember to be kind and check up on your friends and family. If you or someone you know is experiencing a crisis, text REACH to 741 741 or call 988 for crisis support. You don’t have to bloom every day to be growing. 🌞🌱
