May is Mental Health Awareness Month

Each year, one in five Americans will experience mental illness. Mental health is public health. Prevention, early detection, and treatment of mental health conditions can lead to improved physical and community health.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and the DuPage County Health Department (DCHD) is promoting mental well-being and treatment resources within our community:

  • 988 HOTLINE: The 988 hotline serves as a lifeline for individuals experiencing mental health crises. By dialing 988, residents can connect with trained professionals who will provide immediate assistance and connect them with local resources for ongoing support.

MORE RESOURCES:

  • A 24/7 county crisis hotline (630) 627-1700
  • Mobile crisis response for children, adolescents, and adults
  • A crisis residential unit for short-term mental health stabilization for residents over 18 years old

Too many people are experiencing a suicidal crisis or mental health-related distress without the support and care they need.

DuPage County Health Department staffs highly trained counselors who provide free and confidential support to people in suicidal crisis or mental health-related distress 24/7.

There is hope. The 988 Lifeline helps thousands of struggling people overcome suicidal crisis or mental-health-related distress every day.
