BHDD Office of Mental Health Deputy Director of Community Mental Health Services Debbie Blalock has been recognized as one of 11 Women Vision SC honorees for 2020.
The initiative, begun in 2019 by SCETV, “focuses on issues affecting women throughout the state and nation and serves as a platform to highlight trailblazing South Carolina women that have made an impact.”
The honorees were profiled in an hourlong television special, Women Vision SC: Finding Our Voice, which aired, July 2, at 8:30 PM on SCETV, and segments about each of them will also be featured on the SCETV program Palmetto Scene.
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.
