The SCCCMH is excited to be a major sponsor of the first annual DBSA Mental Health Awareness Walk on May 21st. The hope is to have a demonstration of solidarity: consumers, families, friends, advocates, and everyone walking together to increase awareness of the needs of people with mental illness. We also want to squash the stigma associated with mental illness in the hope that people who need help do not hesitate to get help. This is a big deal for Saratoga County. I hope you join us!
