Chartiers Center Celebrates Go Green Day

Jun 1, 2018


CC GO Green Today Video (click to view)
In honor of Mental Health Awareness month Chartiers Center staff and consumers celebrated GO Green Day! The consumers in Chartiers’ T&SR Program made green pins that they passed out to staff. The green pins highlighted the “I’m Here” message.  I’m here… is a way—for both people living with a mood disorder and those who support—to open up a channel for communication and to say, “I’m here…”
The Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance (DBSA) originated the I’m Here campaign and pin. Chartiers’ T&SR group connected with their message and chose to educate others about this campaign. Mood disorders affect millions of people, yet the stigma surrounding it causes barriers to communication and knowledge about mental health conditions. DBSA is hoping for a chain reaction and ongoing communication so that nobody has to feel alone. Explaining the meaning behind the I’m here… safety pin to people in your life helps the whole community move closer to understanding mental health conditions.
Thank you to the T&SR group for beginning the conversation and sharing the pins. What better time than during Mental Health Awareness month!

What Is Mobile Psychiatric Rehabilitation?

Psychiatric Rehabilitation Services are founded on the firm belief that people can and do recover from mental illness, including the most severe and persistent diagnoses. Psych Rehab providers define recovery not by a lack of symptoms, but by the presence of meaning and purpose in one’s life. Participants in Chartiers Center’s Mobile Psych Rehab (MPR) program choose the recovery goals they want to work on and then meet regularly with their MPR staff to learn, enhance, and practice the skills they need to reach those goals.

Healing Invisible Wounds

For many Veterans, the battle doesn’t end when they return home. The experiences of deployment, combat exposure, loss, and the transition back to civilian life can take a profound toll on mental well-being. While every Veteran’s story is unique, the mental-health challenges they face often share common threads: post-traumatic stress, depression, anxiety, substance use, and a lingering sense of isolation. The good news is that effective, compassionate treatment options exist—and awareness and accessibility have grown dramatically over the past decade.
