This week, MCT honors those who have served in the military. Unfortunately, many veterans suffer from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) after their return from service. This disorder causes hyperactivity in certain areas of the brain, and can bring extreme distress for the veteran and their loved ones. Please reach out to the Veterans Crisis Line at 1-800-273-8255 if you or someone you know is affected by PTSD symptoms. Artwork credit to

While we all have days where we may feel a bit lower, on-going feelings of sadness can develop into depression. You may feel like your world is only black and white while everyone else is living in color. If you or a loved one are dealing with long-term, persistent feelings of sadness or emptiness, please reach out! We want to help you bring the vibrancy back to your day-to-day. Artwork credit to

October 12 - 18th is Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) Awareness Week. This disorder faces many misconceptions in popular culture. More than just quirky tendencies, people with OCD experience heavy distress from thoughts that are completely outside of their control. The ritual activities most people think of when imagining OCD are not just habits, but behavior that attempts to destroy these thoughts. The repeated behaviors can highly affect the time and energy that a person living with OCD has available for things they actually want to do. Learn more about the real symptoms and experience of OCD at iocdf.org. Artwork credit to
