May is recognized as Mental Health Awareness Month. According to the CDC, 1 in 5 Americans suffer from a mental health disorder and only half of those people receive treatment. This is a month to destigmatize mental health disorders so that those struggling feel more comfortable asking for help. Learn how to support those struggling with mental health disorders in this ABC Newschannel 20 interview with Mercedes Kent, Program Director at Gateway Foundation: https://hubs.la/Q02x0vZj0 #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth #MentalWellness #MentalHealth #GatewayFoundation

Mental health includes our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel, and act. Not sure if you or someone you know is living with mental health problems? Experiencing one or more of the following feelings or behaviors can be an early warning sign of a problem: eating or sleeping too much or too little, pulling away from people usual activities, having low energy and feeling helpless or hopeless.

Have you heard of the term alcohol blindness? Sometimes, because alcohol use is so prevalent in our society, we don’t realize the impact alcohol use disorder has on those who struggle with it. As Alcohol Awareness Month comes to an end, we encourage you to learn how to spot the signs and symptoms of alcohol use disorder. Gateway Foundation’s Chief Clinical Officer, Jim Scarpace, joined Daytime Chicago to discuss what to look out for and how Gateway can help treat both the physical and psychological components of alcohol use disorder. “It can feel like it’s taking away your dreams, it can feel like it’s taking away your goals, it can feel like it’s interfering with your ability to have these healthy relationships you want,” says Scarpace. “At Gateway Foundation we can help you get those things back because we’ve treated thousands of people successfully for alcohol use disorder.” If you or someone you know is struggling with alcohol use disorder, call 877-505-4673(HOPE) to learn more about your options.
