Focusing on mental health and combatting addiction helps the whole community flourish.
With the growing awareness of how Mental Health affects many areas of a person’s life, understanding both the upstream and downstream issues become critical. Addiction is not always correlated, but there are connections. Understanding how people are struggling with these issues can drive compassion and understanding for how to take action and offer support. New data focused on whether or not people feel supported and isolated can create growing opportunities for both professional intervention as well as informal community partnerships.
