May is 💙

More than 30 million people in the U.S. still lack access to the mental health care they need. The numbers are real—and so is the need for action:

📊 1 in 5 adults experience mental illness each year
📊 1 in 6 youth have a condition, but only half get help
📊 20% of high schoolers seriously considered su***de in 2023

It’s time to raise awareness, break the stigma, and take action.
Here’s how you can support mental health today:

🗣 Talk openly
📚 Educate yourself & others
🤝 Support local organizations
🧠 Care for your own well-being
📣 Use your voice to advocate

At Lighthouse Counseling, we’re here with compassionate, professional care for Newnan, GA and virtual care across Georgia.
