Treatment Works!
By Former Behavioral Health Services Director, Vic Singh
Mental health affects everyone. About half the population will experience a mental health concern during the course of their lifetime. Serious mental illness affects about four percent of adults in the United States — across all income, geographic and ethnic backgrounds. And the tragic consequences of untreated mental illness remain fresh in our minds.
