She told us that 1 in 5 people will suffer from mental illness in their lifetime. CMHA works with families affected by mental illness by setting goals related to school, money and most importantly, keeping the people well enough to stay out of the hospital. Hayley talked about differences between mental illness brought on by drug abuse compared to depression or anxiety. She informed us that in general, young people do not seek help and more typically, they selfmedicate. Upcoming Events Kids Fishing Day June 22nd The CMHA will deal with addiction issues for people 12 years old and up and all other medical issues at 14 years old and up. Hayley had a bubbly personality…even though she appeared to be even more anxious to get on with her day than the rest of us. 50/50 Glenn Gibson pulled the wrong card!
