United We Change the Conversation About Mental Health

Join the conversation. Change the conversation. 

In times of crisis, like the one we face now, it’s especially important to support mental health. Studies show that one in five adults experience mental illness, yet less than half receive the support they need.
Many individuals do not seek mental health treatment because of a lack of resources or the feared stigma attached to mental illness. 
You can help United Way of Champaign County change the conversation around mental health in our communities.
