When we think about cancer, heart disease, or diabetes, we don't wait years to treat them. We start before Stage 4-we begin with prevention. MHAET Blogs are resources for people who are interested in mental health. We feature stories of hope and recovery, ways to end stigma and strategies for living well.
B4Stage 4 is an educational and awareness campaign that equips communities with the information and the tools needed to make a difference. The first step in knowing what to do is learning how to recognize and intervene when someone is struggling.

When dealing with substance abuse, there is often a sense of denial that things are "out of control." When a person is addicted to a substance, that becomes the first thing they think of when they wake up in the morning, and it continues to be on their mind throughout the day. While some individuals do not use a substance daily, "binges", which refer to a large amount of a substance used in a short time, can be equally dangerous.
