June is #mensmentalhealthmonth! According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics the construction industry has one of the highest suicide rates in the United States compared to other industries. This Men’s Mental Health Month, we’re here to remind men that asking for help isn’t a sign of weakness. It takes incredible strength!

The MHARS Board of Lorain County gives a shout out to Shawn Kirts on his recovery and we are proud of the good work of Let's Get Real Inc. and the Place to Recover Training and Resource Center (P2R). 👍More than eight years ago, Shawn Kirts was struggling with addiction, cycling in and out of jail and searching for a way to change his life.
Today, he serves as founder and pastor of Your Son Our Savior Church at 3233 Pearl Ave., using his own recovery journey to help others facing many of the same challenges he once experienced. Story in comments.
