May is Mental Health Awareness Month. That makes this the perfect time for all of us to pause and assess our mental health.

When we fail to be mindful of our health as a whole, stress, anxiety and even the day-to-day pressures of life can build into something bigger. In fact, about half of all Americans will meet the criteria for a diagnosable mental health disorder at some point in their lives. Intervening effectively during the early stages of mental illness can improve the future of those dealing with mental illnesses.

An easy way to determine whether you or someone you know is experiencing symptoms of a mental health condition is to take a mental health screening. The Mental Health America website, at www.mhascreening.org, offers free screenings for depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder and other conditions.

You also can contact your GuidanceResources program. We’re here 24 hours a day, seven days a week to speak confidentially with you about counseling or offer other resources about mental health care. This service is provided by your employer to you and your household members at no cost.

Here when you need us.
