May is Mental Health Month!

  • Did you know that 50% of us will have a mental health challenge in our lifetime?
  • Did you know that 1 in 5 Americans will experience a mental illness in a given year?
  • Did you know that 1 in 5 children currently or at some point in their life have experienced a debilitating mental illness?

There are various causes to mental illness that impact adults and children’s mental health and one common root cause is early adverse life experiences also known as Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs).
