The Importance of Mental Health

May is Mental Health Awareness Month; and now more than ever, there is a great need for mental health awareness and support. The ramifications of the COVID-19 pandemic are far-reaching. Mental health conditions, such as suicide, depression, PTSD, and substance abuse are being considered the second wave of the pandemic. We can’t ignore the mental health impacts of the current health crisis.
