MAY mental health awareness   

MOUNTAIN LIFEWORKS is focused on combating depression, stigmas, isolation and other factors contributing to negative outcomes and critical consequences for vulnerable populations regardless of cause or community. There are many mental health conditions and disorders including: depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia and other psychoses, dementia, and developmental disorders including autism. MOUNTAIN LIFEWORKS integrates proven partners and approaches into a growing menu of community-based resources to help address contributing factors caused by a lack of economic inclusion, educational opportunities and meaningful employment that cannot be cured by medication or counseling.
