Mental Health Awareness Month is a time to raise awareness of and reduce the stigma surrounding behavioral health issues. This makes May a wonderful time to remind everyone of our on-site counseling services. The EnVision Center has partnered with Emma Brewster from Haven of Rest to make seeing a counselor easy for everyone. Emma sees clients one day a week, in her office at our EnVision Center. Her services are free to the community.

Take a look at some statistics regarding mental health:
- 21% of adults are experiencing at least one mental illness, that’s roughly 50 million people.
- 55% of adults with a mental illness have not received any treatment.
- 5.44% of adults experience severe mental illness.
- Over 12.1 million adults (4.8%) have reported serious thoughts of suicide. This figure more than doubles when surveying adults who identify as two or more races.
