🧠💚 World Mental Health Day | October 10, 2025 💚🧠

This year’s theme is “Mental Health in Catastrophes and Emergencies”, highlighting the urgent need to support mental well-being during crises like natural disasters, conflicts, and public health emergencies.

Mental health is essential, especially in times of adversity.

✅ 1 in 5 people affected by emergencies may experience a mental health condition

✅ Everyone deserves access to care, support, and healing

✅ Communities thrive when mental health is prioritized alongside physical health

Let’s come together to raise awareness, reduce stigma, and advocate for accessible mental health services for all, especially the most vulnerable.

Because there is no health without mental health. 💙

Prevention Helps Us Get Ahead

🌟 Prevention Builds Resilience 🌟
When we invest in prevention, we’re investing in the strength and future of our youth, families, communities, and our entire nation.

Prevention isn’t just about avoiding harm. It’s about:

💪 Empowering young people with the tools to make healthy choices
🏡 Supporting families with resources and education
🤝 Strengthening communities through connection and care

Let’s celebrate the power of prevention this October and beyond.

This month, we raise awareness about the impact of substance use and misuse, and the importance of prevention, education, and support. Whether it's through community programs, school initiatives, or personal conversations, every effort counts in helping individuals make informed, healthy choices.

Let’s take time to:
✅ Learn about the risks and signs of substance misuse
✅ Support those in recovery
✅ Promote safe, healthy environments
✅ Share resources that can help

Together, we can build stronger, healthier communities. 💪

✨ What an inspiring day! ✨

The Mental Health and Recovery Board of Union County was proud to welcome back Dr. Lori Desautels, by popular demand, after her incredible session at this summer’s Changemakers Conference, for Connections Over Compliance: Supporting Adult and Youth Well-Being Through Applied Educational Neuroscience.

Over 75 youth-serving professionals from across Union County came together to explore how our own emotional and physiological states impact the children and adolescents we serve. Participants gained tools to support nervous system regulation, foster safety in relationships, and create environments that promote healing, resilience, and growth.

We are grateful to Dr. Desautels for sharing her expertise once again, and to our dedicated educators, behavioral health providers, and community partners who joined us for this transformative learning experience. Together, we are building a stronger, more compassionate system of care for Union County youth and families. 💙
