Barnstable County Shares a Message of Hope with Mood Elevation Signs
Have you noticed the Mood Elevation Signs planted around Cape Cod to help individuals who may be struggling with their mental health? These signs are part of an initiative by Cape & Islands Suicide Prevention Coalition, Cape Cod Neighborhood Support Coalition, Cape Cod Community College, and WE thrive at CIGSYA LGBTQ Center.
Promoting the Message that Support is Available
The signs aim to provide assurance to individuals that they are not alone in their struggles and that there is help available. As part of Mental Health Awareness Month, Barnstable County’s Department of Human Services planted several of them at the County Complex. Mental health is important for our overall well-being, and it is essential that we prioritize it. For many individuals, mental health struggles can be overwhelming and isolating. The Mood Elevation Signs aim to combat this feeling of isolation by promoting the message that support is available.
By calling, texting, or chatting with 988, individuals can connect with trained counselors who can listen, understand, and provide support.
