Mental Health Literacy - Something to Think About

Here is your Ghoulish Fact of the Day.  Recovery starts with recognizing the signs of potential mental illness such as changes in behaviour.  These will vary by age but can include changes in school performance, excessive worry or anxiety, changes in sleep habits, feelings of sadness, hopelessness or withdrawal, or a growing inability to cope with daily problems.   If you are concerned about a loved one or would like more information on available services, please contact FAMILYConnections at 973-675-3817 or visit our website at www.familyconnectionsnj.org.  Additional resources are available at www.samhsa.gov or the National Helpline (1 800-662-HELP or 1 800-487-4889).
