NEW BABIES AND RESOURCE PARTNERS HELP CENTER HAPPENINGS!
We have a lot to celebrate here at Disability Help Center this month. First of all, one of our phenomenal case managers, Noely Arana, is going on maternity leave to prepare for the arrival of her baby boy. We know that we aren’t alone in wishing her congratulations and happy thoughts! Additionally, if you’re a music fan, be sure to tune into La Buena 101.9 FM, Las Vegas. You’ll not only catch some great tunes; you’ll hear some awesome information about our company and the services we provide. If you have a friend or family member who might benefit from talking to our attorneys and/or advocates, be sure to send them our way. Lastly, we have two new resource partners: Nevada Behavioral Health and Mojave Mental Health Services. Because Mental Health Month takes place in May, being able to refer our clients to the experts at these two organizations is an opportunity near and dear to our hearts. According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness, 1/5 of people will be affected by a mental illness in their lifetime. Unfortunately, due to stigmas surrounding concepts like mental or behavioral social normalcy, people who experience mental health conditions often face rejection, discrimination, and bullying. As many as 90 percent of those who die by suicide have an underlying mental illness. With suicide being the 10th leading cause of death in the U.S., it’s
time that we, as a country, work to spread awareness about the prevalence of mental illness and reduce the stigma that prevents people from seeking out a diagnosis or treatment. Navigating life with a mental health condition can be tough, and the isolation, blame, and secrecy that can come with it can create huge challenges with reaching out. If you need someone to talk to or if you know someone who is afraid to ask for help, please call our office today. Our advocates are here to lend a listening ear and get you in contact with someone who will give you the help you need.
