Be the 1 in 15 💚☕

Mental health support starts with everyday people — friends, coworkers, neighbors, and community members who know how to recognize when someone may be struggling and how to help.

This month, local businesses across our community helped spread awareness by placing Mental Health Awareness stickers on cups, food items, and more as we continue working toward our goal of reaching 10,000 Mental Health First Aiders in our community.

Because you never know who may need support — and one trained person can make a difference in the lives of those around them.

Mental health matters everywhere — even in the little moments, like grabbing your morning coffee ☕💚

This month, local businesses across our community are helping spread awareness by placing Mental Health Awareness stickers on cups, food items, and more as we work toward our goal of reaching 10,000 Mental Health First Aiders in our community.

🙂If you see these stickers around town, know that local businesses are standing with mental health awareness and support.

Don't miss your checkup, test, or scan. Our Volunteer Drivers can lend a hand! 🏥🚙

According to the National Institute on Aging, one of the most important ways to help support and promote senior health is to stay connected to healthcare providers.

The GOMadison Volunteer transportation program allows 60+, non-Medicaid eligible Madison County residents to request rides with volunteer drivers to non-emergency medical appointments, at no cost to them.🥼💉🩺🩻💊

What we eat can impact more than just our physical health — it can also play a role in supporting our mental well-being. 💚

Certain foods contain nutrients that help support brain health, mood, and overall wellness. Foods highlighted include pumpkin seeds, chia seeds, lentils, cashews, and spinach, which provide important nutrients linked to healthy brain function. 🥗✨

Small changes can add up over time. Try adding a few nutrient-rich foods into your meals this week and take a step toward supporting both your body and mind!

During Teen Mental Health First Aid trainings, students learn a 5-step Action Plan. This framework teaches teens practical steps for recognizing when a friend may need help, starting supportive conversations, listening without judgment, helping connect them with a trusted adult, and understanding how their friendship can make a difference.

As part of the training, students create and present posters focused on each of the action steps.

Here are some of the thoughtful posters they made 💚
