HOPE Starts Here
The COVID-19 pandemic forced many of us into isolation from friends and family – making mental health awareness more important than ever. 8 out of 10 people report higher anxiety or depression since the pandemic.
Declining mental health can be an invisible crisis. Many of us may not recognize the signs of someone considering suicide or experiencing other mental health problems, even among the people we know best. If you sense a family member is struggling – or if you are struggling – know that you are not alone. Healthy Sumter offers resources to find a local support network, information, and articles you can read to learn more about the symptoms and warning signs of mental illness, and the steps you can take to help yourself or a loved one of any age find treatment. Let’s make better mental health a priority for Sumter County.
