Mental Health Awareness at Slate Valley
May is Mental Health Awareness Month, so the staff at Slate Valley Center on State Route 40 in Granville, New York, were all dressed in green this week in support of the millions affected by mental illness. Since 1949, Mental Health Awareness Month has aimed to reduce the stigma surrounding behavioral health issues, provide resources for those who need help, and highlight the ways mental illness can affect all of us, including patients, providers, families, and our society at large. This is from the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI).

Care. Support. Positive Outcomes. Centers Health Care.
Centers Health Care provides rehabilitation, skilled nursing and long-term care for people with a wide range of needs. Whether someone is recovering from surgery, managing an illness or simply needs more support than can be provided at home, our staff is there to help.
The goal is not exactly the same for everyone. It may be returning home, becoming stronger, staying independent or simply feeling better and more comfortable from one day to the next. There will be progress, setbacks and difficult days along the way. Our job is to be there through all of it, and to help each patient or resident get as far as he or she can.
Sometimes that progress comes in large steps. More often, it comes in small ones. Either way, every step matters.
Our Steps to Home series follows patients through rehabilitation and the journey from hospital to home:
