✨ Mental Health is a Right, Not a Privilege ✨   At Youth & Family Counseling (YFC), we believe that access to mental healthcare should be a basic right, not a luxury.   Emotional wellness isn’t just about personal growth or living our “best lives.” It’s about confronting the immense emotional anguish that life’s challenges can bring. Mental health struggles impact every part of well-being, from everyday functioning to the quality of relationships with loved ones, colleagues, and communities.   👉 When one person suffers, it ripples through families, schools, workplaces, and neighborhoods.   That’s why at YFC, no one is ever turned away. We are committed to breaking down barriers to care and ensuring affordable, accessible, and exceptional counseling services for everyone in Lake County. By investing in mental health, we’re investing in stronger, safer, and more vibrant communities—where everyone can thrive.   💙 This year, we invite you to give the gift of healing. Together, we can open doors to mental healthcare for all. Will you join us?   #MentalHealthMatters #CommunityCare #HealingTogether #MentalHealthcareForAll

Mental Health First Aid equips individuals with crucial skills and knowledge to effectively support others in crisis situations. 🤝 This is an evidence-based series of practices that prepares individuals with training and skills to respond and support those in a time of need.

📢 September is Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, and at WDS Construction, we recognize the critical importance of mental health—especially within our industry. Did you know that construction workers have one of the highest suicide rates compared to other professions? 💔 That’s why it’s essential for us to stand with our employees and foster a supportive environment. Together, we can break the stigma, promote mental wellness, and ensure no one feels they have to struggle alone. Checking in on coworkers and offering a listening ear can save lives. #SuicidePreventionAwarenessMonth #MentalHealthMatters #ConstructionCares #YouAreNotAlone #WDSCares #BuildingHope

In today's fast-paced and demanding world, mental health is a critical aspect of overall wellbeing. Just as we learn first aid to help with physical injuries, it is equally important to understand how to support those who may be struggling with their mental health. Like traditional first aiders who provide immediate assistance for physical injuries, Mental Health First Aiders provide initial support, encouragement, and signposting of a person to identify and access sources of professional help and other support.

Good advice for any company

🌟What an inspiring day with @danielwilsher from Damaged Goods 🌟 Today marked another milestone in our commitment to mental health and well-being. After successfully introducing a new cohort of Mental health First Aiders (MHFA) into the business, we are thrilled to have officially kicked off phase 3 of our I care program! 💗 It focuses on how to navigate the ever-changing landscape of the hospitality sector, the power of empathy in the role, how to recognise the symptoms of mental health challenges and how to lead meaningful conversations. The steps are about more than training – they are about creating a culture where every team member feels seen, supported, and valued. Let’s talk. Let’s break the stigma. Let’s look after each other. Together we can make a difference. #MentalHealthMatters #LeadershipWithEmpathy #IcareForOthers #BreakTheStigma #itsu itsu Daniel Wilsher

It was an absolute privilege to guide this corporate cohort through their Mental Health First Aid accreditation. These incredible individuals have now equipped themselves with the skills and confidence to recognise, respond to, and support those experiencing mental health challenges. Mental health issues touch every corner of our society — our workplaces, families, and communities. But too often, the stigma around mental health stops people from reaching out or offering help. Accreditation in Mental Health First Aid empowers you to break down those barriers, creating safer and more understanding environments. It’s not just about learning how to respond — it’s about building a culture where people feel heard, seen, and supported. If you’ve ever wanted to make a tangible difference, this is your chance. Join the movement of people stepping up to support those in need. The impact of this training can be truly life-changing — for you and for others. Start your journey today and be the change we need. #mentalhealthfirstaid #wellbeingmatters #mentalhealthawareness #lifelongimpact
