Most people who experience mental health problems recover fully, or can live with and manage them, especially if they get help early on.

We will talk with Chris Fogarty, Psychiatric and Mental Health Nurse Practitioner at Mercy Medical Center about mental health initiatives in our community and reducing the stigma attached to mental health conditions.
