Most people become eligible for Medicare at 65, so Medicare Fraud Prevention Week is celebrated the week of 6/5. As a community, we can all participate in Medicare Fraud Prevention Week by looking out for our older neighbors and community members.

For example, when you are out in public, be aware of older people purchasing gift cards in large amounts. If you see this, ask questions or mention gift card scams. Many people have helped stop a scam in its tracks by stepping in and asking questions.

The transition into adulthood can bring excitement, independence, uncertainty, stress—and sometimes mental health or substance use challenges.

For many young adults, asking for help can feel difficult, but support is available, and no one has to navigate these experiences alone.

If you notice changes in mood, sleep, energy levels, daily functioning, or feelings of hopelessness in yourself or someone you care about, reaching out for support can make a difference.

Mental health care is an important part of the Medicaid program, helping fund services such as therapy, medications, crisis care, and peer support for millions of Americans.

A new federal rule would require some Medicaid recipients to regularly report work, school, volunteer activities, or qualifying exemptions to maintain coverage. NAMI has expressed concern that these requirements could make it harder for some individuals with mental health conditions to keep their health coverage, especially during times when they need care the most.

Men’s Health Month is an important reminder that mental health IS health.

Too often, men are encouraged to “push through,” stay silent, or handle struggles on their own. But stress, anxiety, depression, substance use, grief, and burnout can affect anyone, and reaching out for support is a sign of strength, not weakness.

Many thanks to NAMI for sharing resources to raise awareness about men’s mental health.
