MyMCM Cares About Mental Health

May is Mental Health Awareness Month with the goal to help eliminate the stigma associated with mental illness.

Studies show that 1 in 5 adults in the United States experiences mental illness, according to the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI). Nationally, that’s 52.9 million people. In Montgomery County’s population of 1.1 million, the percentages are similar. NAMI studies also show that less than half of those with mental illness ever get treatment. The same is also true in our county.

Montgomery Community Media works to raise awareness about mental health.

MyMCM hosted a panel discussion on the state of mental health and treatment in Montgomery County. Behavioral health experts from throughout the county gathered at our studios for MCM Connects Adult Mental Health.
