💬 Why Mental Health Awareness Matters

  • 1 in 5 adults in the U.S. experiences mental illness each year, yet many suffer in silence due to stigma or lack of access to care.

  • Seniors are often at risk for depression and anxiety due to isolation, chronic illness, or grief—but these conditions are treatable.

  • Family caregivers also face high rates of burnout, stress, and emotional fatigue that can lead to long-term mental health challenges.

Raising awareness this month means encouraging open conversations, advocating for resources, and letting people know they are not alone.
