Mental Health Awareness Month: How Healthy Connections Supports Your Mental Wellness in Arkansas

Affordable Behavioral Health Services Close to Home

May is Mental Health Awareness Month—a time to break the silence, fight the stigma, and remind ourselves that mental health is just as vital as physical health. At Healthy Connections, we understand the weight that anxiety, depression, stress, and trauma can place on your life. That’s why we offer affordable, compassionate mental health care in Arkansas—delivered by people who truly care.

If you’ve been searching for support or wondering when to reach out, that time is now. And at Healthy Connections and Evolve Behavioral Health Services, you’ll find care that meets you where you are.

Why Mental Health Deserves Attention Now

Mental health affects every part of your life—your work, relationships, energy, and overall wellness. Yet, many people still face barriers to care: stigma, shame, or just not knowing where to go.

According to the National Institute of Mental Health, 1 in 5 adults in the U.S. experiences a mental illness each year. But only a fraction of those people get the support they need.

At Evolve, we’re changing that. Our approach is judgment-free, person-centered, and deeply rooted in compassion.

Amy Kosters, LCSW, Evolve’s Director of Integrated Behavioral Health Services and a therapist, emphasizes the importance of accessible care: “We want every patient to know that they’re not alone. Mental health challenges are common and treatable, and we’re here to support you every step of the way.”
