Mental Health

Mental health is a real hot button issue these days. It’s pervasive, mysterious and confusing – and it’s received a ton of media attention. Awareness is always a good thing, especially when it feels as if you’re all alone.

Although drug addiction and alcoholism are the addictions most people are familiar with, they’re not the only addictions that can ruin lives. In addition to alcohol and drugs, there’s tobacco and even addictive behaviors like eating, shopping and gambling that can have disastrous health, social, legal and financial consequences.

We may look at kids and teenagers and wish we were their age again, with no worries, good health and a life filled with happiness. Sadly, while things look great from the other side, the lives of kids and teens are actually more stressful than you can imagine.
