WASHINGTON, D.C.—The National Association of Social Workers (NASW) today announced their involvement with “The Campaign to Change Direction,” a national initiative to create a new story in America about mental health, mental illness and mental wellness.
As part of the collective effort led by Give an Hour, NASW joined 50 other campaign partners in this effort with its pledge to share the five signs a person may be living with a mental illness with more than 100,000 members of the social work profession and the general public through its various social media, on its main website at www. SocialWorkers.org and its consumer website at www. HelpStartsHere.org.
Inspired by discussions at the White House National Conference on Mental Health in 2013, “Change Direction” is a response to the way society addresses mental health. One in five Americans each year experiences a diagnosable mental health condition, and it is expected that more Americans will die by suicide than in car accidents this year.
