An estimated 1 in 5 adults in the United States live with a mental illness, and Bradenton’s population is no exception. Declining mental health can result in several negative outcomes for those affected, including an increased likelihood of drug and alcohol abuse and homelessness, but Bradenton mental health hotline resources are here to help.
Underserved communities make mental health conditions worse, resulting in reduced access to healthy food options, baby formula, diapers and other necessary resources. The city has been designated by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services as a Mental Health Professional Shortage Area.
Taking the first step toward getting the help you need is commendable. If you face mental health challenges, explore these national and regional resources.
