OPI Honors 2013 World Mental Health Day

Today, October 10, 2013, is annual World Mental Health Day, which supports the recognition of mental health education, awareness and activism on a global level. Because the Optimum Performance Institute works with individuals who experience a wide range of mental illness disorders, we observe this day each year to show continued support of our participants and their treatment at OPI.

This year’s theme has been designated as “Mental Health and Older Adults.” Although OPI’s focus is on treating younger adults, our advocacy for their mental health treatment continues well into their adulthood and later on into their lives.

In recognition of this day, the Department of Extracurricular Activities distributed special “goodie bags” to all OPI and OPI Intensive participants and staff. We hope that with these tasty treats, everyone gains awareness that, even though their situation may sometimes seem discouraging, there is always something sweet to look forward to.
