USHealthCorps Recommendations
October 2-8 is Mental Illness Awareness week, and with about 20% of American adults and youth experiencing a mental illness every year, it has perhaps never been more important.

Just as we cheer those battling diseases like cancer, we should offer the same support to those with a mental health condition. USHealthCorps recently put together a packet of online resources to promote better understanding and support of this critical issue.
These resources are a great first step, but let’s work together to keep the conversation about mental illness going!
