BHDD encourages families to check in and start conversations ahead of summer

Observed each May, Mental Health Awareness Month highlights the importance of understanding the connection between mental health and substance use, particularly for teens and young adults. The South Carolina Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities (BHDD) encourages families to use this time to check in and start open conversations before summer break.

May is Mental Health Month in the United States, and the South Carolina Department of Behavioral
Health and Developmental Disabilities (BHDD) seeks to remind South Carolinians of its available services and the
importance of maintaining good mental health and early intervention.
