Mental Health Awareness Month

May is Mental Health Awareness Month.

Did you know that people with disabilities report feeling frequent mental distress almost five times as often as people without disabilities? This Mental Health Awareness Month, we encourage you to look around and look within at the many factors that come into play when it comes to mental health. At Easterseals, we're enriching education, enhancing health, expanding employment, and elevating community so that the people we support are fulfilled in every aspect of their lives.
