NEWS

 Sacramento Business Journal

Uncle Sam wants you to pay attention to possible signs of depression caused by the collapsing economy.

The U.S. government’s Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA)has set up a Web site called “A Guide to Getting Through Tough Economic Times.”

It details health risks from layoffs, foreclosures and other economic turmoil, risks such as depression, anxiety and compulsions such as over-eating or gambling. The site also gives tips for managing stress and links to hotlines or centers for help with drugs and alcohol abuse or preventing suicide. For managing stress, the site advises people to strive for a hopeful attitude towards the future, to stay connected to family and friends, and to exercise. It lists warning signs for suicide and encourages people to seek help immediately if they or someone they know seems to be at risk.

A special note to journalists links to suggestions from the Annenberg Public Policy Center about responsible and non-sensational coverage of suicides. Lurid media reports of suicides can lead to copycat suicides, the site warns.


About the Campaign for Community Wellness:    

In an effort to coordinate and leverage key mental health initiatives and ultimately, improve mental health care in Placer County for all people, the Campaign for Community Wellness was created in the Fall of 2006.

Led by a Steering Committee of over 50 community members, advocates, providers, consumers and family members, the Campaign for Community Wellness is working to coordinate and implement the Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) programs in Placer County.

Our hope is that by coordinating where we can, we end up with better services for more people.

Innovation, collaboration, evidence based practices, culturally competent and consumer-guided services are our approaches

The result?

We hope, that through the Campaign efforts and outreach, people in Placer County struggling with mental health issues feel less stigmatized, live independent, fulfilling lives and feel supported in their recovery efforts----no matter where they are on that path.
