mental health matters

good days and hard days are all part of being human.

mental health is just a reality that affects all of us. it deserves the same attention, care, and compassion we give to physical health.

this isn't about statistics (though we're about to share some statistics). it's about people. our friends, our families, and ourselves. this is why we talk about it, out loud and with intent.

mental health conditions affect us all

1 in 5 U.S. adults experience mental health conditions each year.

suicide rates are at an all-time high

suicide is the 2nd leading cause of death among children age 10-14.

wellness is mind and body

depression raises the risk of heart and metabolic disease by 40%.

getting help early is key

50% of all lifetime mental illness begins by age 14, and 75% by age 24.

we've all seen the choking victim posters in the breakrooms and at the coffee shops. as important as that is, but when someone is struggling mentally, it's not always that obvious, and the "what now? isn't always clear.

so we made a poster in partnership with NAMI to help.
