Beware the trap of substance abuse.

Young people thrive when support comes early. Encouraging open conversations about mental health can help children and teens feel supported in reaching out. https://www.samhsa.gov/mental-health/what-is-mental-health/how-to-talk/young-people

Sometimes the most important step is listening. Taking time to listen to the concerns of a young person in your life can help them feel safe sharing what they’re experiencing. https://www.samhsa.gov/mental-health/children-and-families #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth #MHAM2026

No matter who you are, your mental health matters. Proud of who you are. Proud to support you.

You are not alone. Know that there is support.

Serious mental illnesses such as bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and major depression are medical conditions, not personal failures. Learning helps increase understanding. https://www.samhsa.gov/find-support/helping-someone #MHAM2026 #SeeThePerson
