Welcome To Acadia's newest educational campaign, Because Your Mental Health Matters with David Prescott, PhD. Each month Dr. Prescott, who is the Director of Psychology Services and Clinical Research for The Acadia Hospital, will write about a topic relating to your mental health and well-being. Some months he may cover a specific mental illness, like depression. Other months he may focus on a mental health issue like how to manage the stress of raising children with the demands of work.

We hope you enjoy Dr. Prescott's informative articles and come back each month to read his latest piece. After all, your mental health matters and The Acadia Hospital wants to be your partner in achieving and maintaining your emotional well-being.
