While one in five people will experience a mental illness over the course of their lives, everyone will face challenges that can and will affect their mental health. Many people who face these challenges will be able to receive help from a professional counselor. In addition to helping those seeking holistic wellness, professional counselors need to be able to care for their own mental health.
