Today is World Mental Health Day. Thank you for all you do to help spread awareness around mental health conditions and to support those with mental health conditions. One in five US adults experience a mental health condition annually—impacting the individual and their friends, families, co-workers and others supporting them. Mental well-being is something everyone works to maintain and manage as we muddle through life’s challenges and triumphs. No one should have to face the challenges or joys alone.
