It is estimated that 1 in 5 people live with a mental illness and 50% of all mental illnesses begin by age 14, and 75% by age 24. While we often know a lot about physical illness, there tends to be less knowledge about mental health or substance use problems. Early intervention can reduce a person’s stress and make their recovery easier but unfortunately many people do not know how to help.
The Mental Health READY on-demand webinars was created from 25 years of professional mental health experience and was designed with the following benefits:
