SACSS Shines a Light on Mental Wellness during National Counseling Awareness Month

April is National Counseling Awareness Month, and SACSS is spotlighting the importance of mental health counseling to our seniors.

SACSS Director of Family Support Services Mary Archana Fernandez led a presentation explaining the different types of counseling available to those seeking help, how counseling impacts our mental health, the causes and types of mental illnesses, and debunking myths.

Counseling can be a potent tool in promoting and maintaining good mental health. In today’s fast-paced and stressful world, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and anxious about various aspects of life. 

Through counseling, individuals can improve their overall well-being and lead happier, more fulfilling lives by addressing issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma, and relationship problems. With the support and guidance of a counselor, people can learn to identify and change negative patterns of thinking and behavior, build resilience, and achieve their goals. Ultimately, seeking counseling can be a decisive step towards caring for oneself and creating a brighter future.

SACSS is committed to ensuring our community has access to the mental health support and services they need. We provide a safe and non-judgmental haven where individuals can freely explore their thoughts and feelings. Our team of trained mental health counselors is here to help them gain insight and develop coping mechanisms without any fear of judgment.
