How to Raise Mental Health Awareness in 2023?

Stark County Mental Health and Addiction Recovery

Health Matters with the Medicine Center Pharmacy. I’m your pharmacist, Paul White. We’re glad you joined us. Before we begin, I’d like to thank our sponsors, Aultman Health Systems, Studio Arts & Glass, and Jenior Appraisals and Liquidations.

Today, Brad White and I are broadcasting from our administrative offices and our guests are Elena Aslanides (As-lan-EE-deez)-Kandis, Suicide, and Community Response Coordinator, and Justina Gorman, Coalition & Community Development Coordinator, both with Stark County Mental Health and Addiction Recovery Board.

Mental Health Awareness Month has been observed in the U.S. since 1949. Every year during the month of May our goal is to raise awareness about mental health. It’s an opportunity for all of us to come together and remember the inherent value we each hold — no matter our diagnosis, appearance, socioeconomic status, background, or ability. We want every person out there to know that if all you did was wake up today, that’s more than enough. No matter what, you are inherently worthy of more than enough life, love, and healing. Showing up, just as you are, for yourself and the people around you is more than enough.

we are happy to share this time with Elena and Justina from Stark County Mental Health and Addiction Recovery, a multi-faceted county behavioral health board comprised of expert professionals, dedicated volunteers, and concerned community leaders. Stark County Mental Health & Addiction Recovery believes in hope, wellness, and recovery for everyone.
