Why Focus on Mental Health?
Minds Matter.
Mental health is essential to our well-being. It affects our physical health, how long we live, our economic status. Yet it is one of the least appreciated and most underfunded areas of American public health.
If a virus affected this many people, we’d call it an epidemic.
One in five Americans had a mental health condition in the last year. Over a lifetime 50% of us will. No one is immune.
Treatment is highly effective. Most people can recover.
Like diabetes or cardiovascular disease, mental illnesses can be successfully managed with treatment and support.
When people don’t get the treatment they need, we all pay a price.
Untreated mental illness exacts immense human, societal and economic tolls.
Mental Health
is a Tipping Point
Together, We Can Tip the Balance and
Improve the Health of our Community.
