Mental Illness Awareness Week: Strengthening Our Community Through Support

The first week of October is recognized nationally as Mental Illness Awareness Week, a time to increase understanding, reduce stigma, and encourage open dialogue about mental health.

At Family Service Rochester (FSR), we are committed to ensuring that individuals and families have access to compassionate, effective support. Mental health challenges affect one in five people each year, and it is essential that our community comes together to provide care, encouragement, and connection.

FSR offers a comprehensive range of services to promote mental wellness, including:

• Counseling and Therapy for individuals, couples, and families.

• School-Based Mental Health Services to support children and adolescents.

• Community-Based Services that build stability and strengthen families.

During this important week, we affirm our commitment to fostering mental wellness and ensuring that no one faces these challenges alone. If you or someone you know could benefit from support, we invite you to connect with Family Service Rochester.
