We understand the daily struggles and join together to help one another. Mental Illness is Common • One in every four families will have a mental health problem at some point in their lives. • Mental illnesses account for a large percentage of hospital stays each year. • Effective treatments exist for mental illness. • Many families hesitate to get medical treatment due to the stigma and fear associated with mental illness. • Mental illness is like any other illness and is completely treatable.

Mental Illness is an Illness Like Any Other • Mental illness is common. As a matter of fact, statistics indicate that one in four families will have a mental health problem at some point in their lives. In spite of the fact that so many families are effected by mental illness, very few know about or understand its treatment. The Myths of Mental Illness • People with mental illness are violent and dangerous. The truth is that, as a group, mentally ill people are no more violent than any other group. In fact, they are much more likely to be the victims of violence than to be violent themselves. • Mental illness is caused by a personal weakness. A mental illness is not a character flaw. It has nothing to do with being weak or lacking will-power. • It is an illness. They do not choose to be ill.
