May is Mental Health Awareness Month, a time to raise awareness and decrease the stigma surrounding mental illnesses. Mental illness doesn't discriminate. At Keystone, our clients come from all walks of life and have very different backgrounds. Some have high levels of education, some do not. Others have been very disabled by their illnesses, while others haven’t. No matter who they are or what their background is, our goal is to help each client live their best lives and meet their personal goals. Learn more about Keystone in our 2020 Annual Report.
