13 Reasons Why: Frequently Asked Questions

1 in 5 people are affected by mental illness. Grand Erie cares deeply about the 1 and we also care about the support provided to all 5! In doing so, we recognize that everyone has mental health and everyone's wellness is different.

Wellness is defined as ‘being in a good state of mental or physical health.’ It's not about getting by, but rather thriving in our environments and social world.

Wellness is made up of positive connections with others and how we take care of ourselves; it includes our emotional, spiritual and physical well-being.
