Mental Health America of Dubuque County

Mental Health America of Dubuque County We work to ensure the mental health of the Dubuque community through education, advocacy and collaboration.

Whether or not we have a mental illness or know someone who has experienced such a problem we all have mental health. We may not think much about mental health or even use the phrase but it’s a common element in all our lives. Some of us call it a state of mind , being content, or feeling good about yourself. Mental health is perhaps best explained as how we cope with daily life and the challenges it brings. When our mental health is good we can deal better with what comes our way.

Check out this webinar from MHA National on September 30th!

Pets can play a powerful role in supporting mental health and well-being. From providing comfort and companionship to serving as part of therapeutic healing, the human-animal bond can be an important source of purpose, community, and health. This webinar will bring together researchers and practitioners to explore the many ways animals impact mental health.

During this 60-minute session, participants will:

Learn about the impact the human-animal bond has on mental health.
Explore the ways pets support daily and long-term mental health.
Hear how pets can be part of recovery journeys, as well as clinical and therapeutic perspectives on the role animals can play in supporting mental wellness.
Discover MHA and HABRI’s new resources for pets and mental health.

Clarke University Athletics and Mental Health America of Dubuque County are partnering this weekend to raise awareness of mental health struggles.

23% of Americans face mental health struggles every year and 46% of them develop the mental health issue before the age of 14. This equates to over 50 million Americans dealing with this struggle, yet so many feel alone in their fight. Their battles include depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, substance use problems and many more. It's the goal of Mental Health America to let these individuals know they are not alone and to help connect them with resources to help. September is Su***de Awareness Month. In 2023 alone over 49,000 people completed su***de. Over 2 million consider su***de yearly, with nearly one million of that number being children aged 12-17. You can make a difference. Educate yourself about mental health struggles, learn to listen with an open heart and have hard conversations, know what resources are available, and take care of yourself! Self-care is essential for all mental well-being, and a person cannot give more than they have. Lastly, remember you are not alone in your personal struggle with mental health or if you are caring for someone who is struggling.

Mental Health America will host a table during Clarke University volleyball, soccer, and football games on Saturday. We will have staff and volunteers on hand to answer questions, provide information, and connect you to resources!

September is National Recovery Month. The 2025 theme is Recovery Is Real: Restoring Every Aspect of Life. We hope this month we can take time to reflect and remember to see the PERSON not the addiction. There are multiple PATHWAYS to recovery. Language MATTERS. And to never give up HOPE. 💜💙🩵
