RISE Housing and Support Services is proud to recognize Mental Health Month. RISE encourages people to talk about their experiences in a continued effort to destigmatize mental health and to further the movement toward significant cultural, political, and policy changes surrounding mental health.
RISE residents shared what having good mental health means to them including the importance of participating in mental health treatment, the support of friends and family members, and the activities and coping skills they use to maintain positive mental health.
“I would like to thanks to everyone involved with my mental health and everyone who supports me with it. RISE, my family, and the Saratoga County Mental Health Clinic.”
“Going to my program at Unlimited Potential really helps me a lot. While there, I enjoy doing word searches and other types of games. It keeps my mind sharp!”
