Behavioral Health Fair: CRDAMC Behavioral Health Fair features variety of services, support available to Soldiers, Families
More than 30 different services and organizations from on and off post came together at the Carl R. Darnall Army Medical Center Behavioral Health Fair to put out a unified message that help and support are available to Soldiers and their Families. “One in four American adults suffers from one or more behavioral health issues. We put on the fair to raise awareness that help is readily available for whatever may be causing Soldiers or Family members stress. Additionally, we wanted a variety of services at the fair to support the idea that well-being means achieving a balance of mental, physical and spiritual health,” Lt. Cmdr. Allah Sharrieff, Public Health Service executive officer for Darnall’s Behavioral Health Department, said. The one-day fair and informational classes are part of Mental Health Month activities CRDAMC sponsored for May.
