Reach Out During Mental Health Month

Porter-County-Family-Counseling-CenterMay is Mental Health Month! People who are emotionally healthy are in control of their emotions and their behavior. They are able to handle life's inevitable challenges, build strong relationships, and lead productive, fulfilling lives. When bad things happen, they're able to bounce back and move on. Unfortunately, too many people take their mental and emotional health for granted - focusing on it only when they develop problems. But just as it requires effort to build or maintain physical health, so it is with mental and emotional health. The more time and energy you invest in your emotional health, the stronger it will be. Take a moment today to check out our resources below from Mental Health America. Do More for 1 in 4 is a call to action to help the 1 in 4 American adults who live with a diagnosable, treatable mental health condition. Live Well! It's Essential for Your Potential, focuses on the importance of mental wellness and the steps everyone can take to improve their well-being and resiliency in the face of difficult times and challenges.

Reach out, be compassionate and take care! Remember PCFCC is working in our community Changing lives!
