Dear Friends,
This month, as we celebrate World Mental Health, we are excited to raise awareness about mental health issues and support those that are affected by mental health. By highlighting Jackson’s one-of-a-kind Behavioral Health Hospital, we encourage everyone in our community to take advantage of its services. Jackson Behavioral Health provides a full continuum of mental health care for children, adolescents, adults, and seniors, and also offers individual, couples, family, and group therapies.
In addition, we’re hosting our inaugural Mind Your Health event on Sunday, October 10, at Margaret Pace Park in Miami. This family-friendly event – celebrated on World Mental Health Day – will include resources and activities focused on mental health and well being, and will feature experts in the field speaking on a variety of topics.
During these challenging times, it is more important than ever that we all take care of ourselves, not just physically, but mentally, as well. We hope you will join us and spread the word about the event to your friends and family.
Sincerely,
|

Charmaine Gatlin
