In keeping with my commitment to bringing awareness to mental health this month. I'll be sharing some statistics.

@nursefrombirth Dealing with mental illness with a family member now. This needs to be talked about because it is a major issue.
@bobrush6 don't feel like you are alone. I'm sure we are all dealing with mental illness whether it is ourselves, friends, family, co-workers, even our children, and their friends can be better supported if we TALK about it.
@nursefrombirth I don't feel like it but at least here in TN the system is completely overloaded with no help in sight. I worry about the people who can't get help. For my family we have 3 insurance plans so everyone os well taken care of but what about those with no insurance?
@bobrush6 Unfortunately, lack of insurance has been and remains a barrier to receiving safe and effective mental health care and support. One would think that with all the evidence correlating good mental health to better physical health, a prestigious country such as ours would make it a priority. I am advocating for that. Until then I support people by helping them to find resources.
