July is National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month, a crucial time for organizations to spotlight mental health in diverse communities. In May 2008, the U.S. House of Representatives designated July as Bebe Moore Campbell National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month to enhance access to mental health services through increased public awareness. Since then, numerous organizations have organized events and activities nationwide to support this cause. Mental illness affects one in four adults and one in 10 children in America. The U.S. Surgeon General reports that minorities are less likely to receive diagnoses and treatment, have limited access to mental health services, and often encounter lower-quality care. Additionally, mental illness is a leading cause of disability, yet nearly two-thirds of those with a diagnosable condition do not seek treatment. Racial and ethnic groups are even less likely to get help. At McKinley, we are committed to raising awareness during National Minority Mental Health Month. With our programs designed to assist with mental health and our new locations and offices in Southern California, we are dedicated to making a positive impact. We encourage our community to engage with this vital issue, learn more about mental health, and support those affected by mental illness.

Welcome to McKinley!

Happy 4th of July! As we gather to honor the spirit of freedom and unity, we would like to wish you a joyful and safe 4th of July. Independence Day is a time to celebrate our nation's history, reflect on the values of liberty and justice, and band together with the people we share this great country with. Because we also recognize that this day did not represent independence for everyone, we strive to create an organization, culture, and community that is inclusive and welcoming. Let's celebrate our independence, and differences, that make our communities strong and vibrant. Whether you're enjoying fireworks, barbecues, or spending quality time with loved ones, may your day be filled with happiness and gratitude. Stay safe, and thank you for being part of our community! #FourthOfJuly #IndependenceDay #Community #Unity

Intern Spotlight: Issell Preston Garcia We are thrilled to spotlight Issell Garcia, a dedicated Mental Health Intern who has significantly contributed to our team. Issell recently earned her Master's in Counseling Psychology from National University on May 18th, 2024! Issell interned with us from August 2023 to June 2024.

Her passion lies in creating a safe space for people to open up, grow, and better themselves, with a strong commitment to helping her community. Reflecting on her experience, Issell shared, "I was fortunate to have the support of Suzann McIntire and Heidi Montiel, their encouragement made the environment feel safe, allowing me to grow."
