May is Mental Health Month.

Did you know that Mental Health Month, observed since 1949, was started by our parent organization Mental Health America? 

​It was, and still is, recognized by a presidential proclamation.
The purpose of Mental Health Month is to raise awareness, educate the public about mental health conditions, and reduce the stigma that surrounds these conditions.
One in five Americans will experience a mental health condition in a given year, and 50% of Americans will experience a mental health condition in their lifetime.
It is important that those experiencing early symptoms of a mental health condition know what to look for,
and that Americans are educated about how
​a mental health condition might feel. 

Thank you to all the wonderful organizations that joined us to celebrate and raise awareness of Mental Health at our first annual Mental Health and Wellness Fair on May 7th! 

We are open ​Monday – Friday,
9 AM-3 PM.

Visit us in Center Ithaca, Suite 275,
​at 171 E. State St. on the Ithaca Commons. 
Walk-ins are welcome!
​
You may also call us to set up a phone or virtual appointment for support services at 607 273-9250.

SELF-ASSESSMENT

Taking a screening test or “self-assessment” is one of the quickest and easiest ways to determine whether you are experiencing symptoms of a mental health condition. 
Mental health conditions, such as depression or anxiety, are real, common and treatable. Recovery is possible. 
​The screening tests ARE
​completely anonymous and confidential.
