Roughly one in five Americans suffers from a mental illness in a given year.

Substance Abuse
Substance abuse is the overuse and dependence on a drug or chemical which causes adverse impacts on social, personal and professional well-being.

Suicide
Suicide is a devastating event with catastrophic human and economic costs. In many cases suicide can be prevented, yet it continues to present a major public health problem.

Depression Management
Depression can take away health, wealth and the pursuit of happiness, but it can be successfully treated.

Care Management
Policy makers and employers are recognizing the impact of mental health and substance abuse on businesses, communities and families.

Education is an important ally in the fight against poverty, unemployment and homelessness.

Justice/Rehabilitation
In North America the recidivism rate for young people leaving custody has been reported to be as high as 96 percent.

Housing
For people living with mental illnesses or disabilities, home is a place that provides safety, stability and dignity - essential qualities in recovery and health.

Career Development
Some 90 percent of mentally disabled individuals do not work, yet research suggests more than 75 percent of these potential employees have both the desire and ability to work.
