IRBH hosts a variety of programs, such as Children’s Services, Mental Illness (MI), Developmental Disabilities (DD), and Substance Abuse (SA). Our treatment options include, but are not limited to, initial assessments, basic living skills, therapy services, psychiatric consultation, medication monitoring, intensive in-home services, crisis stabilization, day treatment, supportive employment (DD), residential services (MI & DD), patient assistance programs for medications, and substance abuse assessment, treatment, and referrals.

May is Mental Health Month

Were you aware approximately 1 in 5 adults and nearly 1 in 7 children experience symptoms of mental illness? It would be impossible to create a full list of symptoms; however, some may include feelings of depression, anxiety, isolation from others, withdraw from social and family situations, hopelessness, or unexplained changes in behavior. One of the key factors in determining if you may benefit from services is evaluating if your current symptoms are impacting your ability to live, laugh, and love.  By “live,” I mean carrying out your daily activities such as taking care of yourself, going to work or school, caring for your children, etc. “Laugh” is meant to determine if you engage in activities you enjoy, including your hobbies and being around positive people. “Love” surrounds your ability to have and maintain healthy relationships.

Often individuals attempt to self-manage symptoms or simply go without available treatments. There are a variety of reasons people may not seek assistance. Unfortunately, many people do not realize the potential impact mental health symptoms may have in our daily life, including in the community, schools, and relationships. To combat the stigma related to treatment and promote recovery in the community, IRBH and many national agencies celebrate May as Mental Health Month.
