The Medical Center of Trinity celebrated May as Mental Health Awareness Month by turning its Behavioral Health Center the color green for the month.
The hospital is using the month of May to call awareness to the many symptoms of deteriorating mental health, which include:
- Changes in energy level and sleep patterns
- Changes in appetite, eating habits or weight
- Frequent thoughts of death or suicide
- Loss of interest or pleasure in activities
- Noticeable restlessness or irritability
- Feeling sad, empty, hopeless, worthless or guilty
- Difficulties with concentration or decision-making
The Medical Center of Trinity also has opened its new Senior Behavioral Health Program dedicated to helping older adults with mental health concerns receive the skills they need for a strong foundation of recovery.
The new program allows seniors to work in partnership with caregivers, hospital staff and clinicians to receive high-quality care tailored to the senior’s needs.
