We wanted to share this excellent awareness ad from the National Alliance on Mental Illness. It speaks volumes on the need for compassion and understanding for those suffering from the affects of mental health problems.
It is a myth that everyone who is homeless is mentally ill. However, mental health issues can exacerbate and prolong a persons homeless experience. We enjoy working with persons who happen to be struggling with depression, bi-polar and other conditions. They truly do “enrich our lives.”
