RTC Parent Program: Mental Health & Wellness 101The median time between the onset of mental illness (when symptoms first appear) and when an individual gets appropriate treatment is 10 years. During that time, a person is likely experiencing periods of increased symptomology and periods of wellness. Mental Health and recovery are dependent on an individual's ability to recognize and manage where they are each day on the continuum between wellness and illness, and to take care accordingly. Education and early intervention promotes wellness and leads to better outcomes. Increase basic knowledge of mental health to help reduce stigma. Understand Mental Health as a continuum of wellness that defines us every day - it is illness, recovery and all of the space in between. Promote wellness, treatment seeking behavior, recovery and self-care. Location:Rockland BOCES Conference Center, Building 10, |
