Mental Illness Awareness Week is observed from October 5th to 11th.

Mental illnesses are disorders that can affect a person’s thinking, mood, or behavior. These early warning signs and symptoms can help determine if you or someone you know is experiencing a mental health condition.

It’s more common than you may think: 1 in 5 adults in the U.S. experiences mental illness each year. Let’s break the stigma together with open, compassionate conversations. Everyone deserves a support system and access to resources.

Hope is here! The Starting Point Behavioral Healthcare Medication-Assisted Recovery (MAR) Mobile Clinic is here!

The clinic aims to increase access to buprenorphine and recovery support services throughout Nassau County. A major goal of the Mobile Clinic is to meet the needs of individuals with limited transportation who use opioids and other substances and are at risk of overdose.

“The mobile clinic promises to be an important tool in our ongoing efforts to help people find wellness and meaning in their lives.”

The Mobile Clinic helps people who:

✅ Use opioids or other substances
✅ Live in rural areas or don’t have a car
✅ Need support but aren’t sure where to go

We meet people where they are—because everyone deserves care. When necessary, support will be provided to get to the pharmacy and fill prescriptions.

Find us on weekdays from 10:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m. at these locations.

📍 Monday and Friday, Barnabas Health Clinic,1303 Jasmine Street, Fernandina Beach, FL

Another story of one of our Nassau County neighbors who has made significant progress in her recovery from mental health and substance use challenges.

“I didn’t really “choose” recovery this time. After DUIs, DCF, DOC, all the punishments that come along with this lifestyle. So, I found myself in jail, headed to CRM (City Rescue Mission) for what turned out to be a blessing.

I obtained resources, tools, and a higher power. I attended AA meetings, women’s group, community events, meditation, breathing techniques, individualized therapy, and group-setting therapies.

I work a program of recovery that was not easy to get here! I just celebrated a year free from my worst addiction, alcohol on July 19th! If it’s worth it, work it. Because we are worth it!”

Nassau County resident, female, age 41. Mental health issues bipolar disorder, ADHD, impulse control, and PTSD. Substance use included opioid use disorder, ni****ne use disorder-2 years free, and alcohol use disorder-1 year free.
