25% of Americans struggle with mental health issues, including therapists like Brooke Clever. Clever, who helps patients set up recovery goals and strategies, shares her journey with anxiety and depression to break down stigmas surrounding mental health and connect with clients on a deeper level. Last year, Transitions-Mental Health Association provided services to over 5,300 individuals and families in San Luis Obispo. Michael Kaplan emphasizes the importance of mental health awareness during May, Mental Health Awareness Month. Jill Bolster-White highlights the intensive services offered by the organization for those seeking stability in their mental health journey. Clever emphasizes the significance of community support and encourages those struggling to reach out for help through resources such as hotlines, wellness centers, and community events like the Open Minds Community Art Show. Throughout May, Transitions-Mental Health Association will host three open houses for individuals to learn more about available resources for their mental health needs. These events provide opportunities for education, connection, and community support on the journey towards mental well-being.
