May is Mental Health Awareness Month. At the El Dorado County District Attorney’s Office, we are committed to increasing awareness about the importance of mental health and wellness. According to the CDC, one in five U.S. adults and one in five children currently live with a mental health condition. Mental health includes our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel, and act. It also helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others, and make healthy choices. Mental health is important at every stage of life, from childhood and adolescence, through adulthood. It’s never too late to work on your mental health 💚 You don’t have to struggle with your mental health alone 💚 When things feel overwhelming, know that there is hope and help 💚 Call or Text 988
