Mental illness is a real illness. People often suffer silently due to the stigma associated with mental illness. Discussions and raising awareness about mental health are the first steps to combat this stigma. When a family member suffers from mental illness, it can turn your world upside down.

Often a family is in chaos and scrambling for any help they can find. YES aims to relieve some of those challenges by offering one place to locate resources, support, and education for individuals and family members and training for mental health professionals.

Encouraging teenagers and young adults who need help to seek it early will prevent future tragedies. Communication and understanding are vital in combating the stigma associated with mental illness.
