Orange County Recognizes Mental Health Awareness Month in May
May is National Mental Health Awareness month. Each year, residents, community organizations and major employers across the U.S. highlight the effort to fight the stigma linked to mental health issues, provide support, educate and advocate for policies and resources to assist those living with mental illness and their families.
According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), one in five people will be affected by mental illness in their lifetime. Furthermore, half of all lifetime mental health conditions begin by age 14, and 75 percent by age 24.
