This week’s Connected to Chicago segment is with Nick Gale, and focuses on May being designated Mental Health Month.

We talk with Paul Gionfriddo, president and CEO of Mental Health America, which started Mental Health Month 70 years ago to raise awareness about mental health conditions and the importance of good mental health for everyone.

A new report finds that Illinois ranks 11th in prevalence of mental Illness and access to care rankings. Gionfriddo says that’s a good standing.

This year’s theme, “4Mind4Body,” explores the topics of animal companionship, spirituality and religion, humor, work-life balance, and recreation and social connections as ways to boost mental health and general wellness.
