December is National Giving Month

This week Leadership has chosen to highlight Youth Eastside Services. They provide counseling and treatment for substance abuse, psychiatric services, school-based services, education, and prevention programs. Their services empower young people and families to pursue habits, decisions, and activities that promote their well-being. They do not turn down anyone because of their culture, gender, sexual orientation, race, color, gender identity/expression, age, socioeconomical status, marital status, family/parental status, or military status any of its services, operations, or programs. Check out ways to give to Youth Eastside Services.

Question of the Week: Mental illness is caused by:

  1. Personal weakness
  2. Lack of willpower
  3. A number of factors, including biological factors, stressful/traumatic life events, and long-lasting health conditions such as heart disease or cancer
