May is Mental Health Awareness Month 2020

Mental health is an essential part of overall health, and it’s now more important than ever to support mental well-being for ourselves, our loved ones, and for our communities.  

Juggling work, family and financial stresses can be overwhelming even in the best of times.   The addition of social distancing, changes to work and family routines, and other effects of the COVID-19 pandemic can worsen existing mental health concerns and even trigger new symptoms.

Mental Health America, the non-profit advocacy organization that launched the observance, has announced that the theme for Mental Health Awareness Month 2020 is Tools to Thrive , and they have created an online toolkit.  We’d like to share parts of the toolkit that are especially relevant right now.   

If you need immediate help:

National Suicide Prevention Lifeline – 1‑800‑273‑TALK (8255) or Live Online Chat

Trained crisis workers are available to talk 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Your confidential and toll-free call goes to the nearest crisis center in the Lifeline national network. These centers provide crisis counseling and mental health referrals.

SAMHSA National Helpline – 1‑800‑662-HELP (1‑800‑662‑4357)

A confidential, free, 24-hour-a-day, 365-day-a-year, information service, in English and Spanish, for individuals and family members facing mental health and/or substance use disorders. This service provides referrals to local treatment facilities, support groups, and community-based organizations. Callers can also order free publications and other information.

Andrew's Breakthrough in Treating Depression That Didn't Respond to Medication
By Caroline Wing August 15, 2025
At just 20 years old, Chloe found herself struggling with depression—a challenge that made everyday life feel overwhelming and joy hard to find. Working as a Behavioral Health Technician at Greenbrook Mental Wellness Centers, she had witnessed firsthand how NeuroStar® TMS therapy helped patients improve. It was that experience that ultimately led her to seek treatment for herself. Chloe's decision marked a turning point. She responded remarkably well to NeuroStar® TMS, echoing the very outcomes she used to celebrate in others. What followed was a transformation not only in her mental health but in her overall experience of young adulthood. The Care Team at Greenbrook played an essential role in her recovery. Chloe described the Care Team as “absolutely amazing,” noting their kindness and commitment to checking in regularly. Their support made the treatment process feel less clinical and more personal—a space of trust and comfort she looked forward to each day. As treatment progressed, the changes in Chloe’s life began to blossom. She found herself embracing experiences she once would’ve dismissed. One particular moment that stands out is a pottery class she took with a friend—except this wasn’t just any pottery class. It included cuddling baby goats and lambs while painting.
