The holidays can be a difficult time of year. To help ease these struggles, the Ronald McDonald Family Room is bringing the holiday spirit to families of those in treatment.

The holiday season can often be a mix of joy and stress. While we look forward to many traditions, as the pandemic drags on with new variants, we’re forced to find ways to reinvent or possibly postpone family gatherings. Mental health advocate and morning show DJ at 103.7 in Milwaukee, WI, Riggs, hosted a Facebook Live with Rogers Behavioral Health experts Adrianne McCullars, PhD, associate clinical director and psychologist at Rogers’ Tampa clinic, and Sue McKenzie Dicks, vice president, healthy culture, to discuss how we can keep our mental health in check.

Statistics show that for people who have an anxiety or mood disorder, their chances of having a co-occurring pain disorder increases by 50 to 60%. Today’s blog examines the connections between mental and physical health.

For more than a century, Rogers has been fulfilling its not-for-profit mission of changing lives by providing access to our gold standard mental health and addiction care in communities across the U.S.

Whether it’s inpatient, residential, partial hospitalization, or intensive outpatient care, nurses play a crucial role in our mission of providing evidence-based mental health and addiction treatment that transforms lives.

Besides the medal count, conversations about mental health took center stage during the 2020 Olympics Games after Simone Biles—the most-decorated American gymnast of all time—finished with a bronze medal after withdrawing from the team final and individual all-around gymnastics competition. Simone said she needed to focus on her mental well-being.

How we talk to someone who is struggling with mental health can make the difference between someone feeling accepted and understood, or feeling labeled as a disorder first and a human being second.

June is Men’s Health Month, a time when men are encouraged to take better care of themselves, both physically and mentally.
