DMHS offers resources to combat alcohol abuse, stress, and more

April is Alcohol Awareness Month, Stress Awareness Month, and, Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month. While we recognize that these are three very different events, we at DMHS believe each one is important and worth focusing our time on.
