May is Mental Health Awareness Month, so let’s talk about some facts from the National Alliance on Mental Illness-

1 in 5 U.S. adults experience mental illness every year
For 1 in 20, their mental illness impacts them severely
And 7.6% experienced a co-occurring substance use disorder and mental illness in 2021
BUT only 47.2% of those with mental illness received treatment in 2021 and the average delay between treatment and onset is 11 years
Barriers such as lack of insurance and shortage of providers prevent people from getting necessary care

Awareness around mental illness helps reduce stigma and promote growth of necessary resources

This month and all year round, let’s talk about it!
