Each year, millions of Americans face the reality of living with a mental health condition. However, mental illness affects everyone directly or indirectly through family, friends or coworkers. Despite mental illnesses’ reach and prevalence, stigma and misunderstanding are also, unfortunately, widespread.
That is why each year, during the first week of October, NAMI and participants across the country raise awareness of mental illness. Each year, we educate the public, fight stigma and provide support. And each year, our movement grows stronger.
We believe that mental health conditions are important to discuss year-round, but highlighting them during Mental Illness Awareness Week provides a dedicated time for mental health advocates across the country to come together as one unified voice. Since 1990, when Congress officially established the first full week of October as Mental Illness Awareness Week (MIAW), advocates have worked together to sponsor activities, large or small, to educate the public about mental illness.
Don’t wait for your health care provider to ask about your mental health. Start the conversation. Here are 5 tips to help prepare and guide you on how to talk to your health care provider about your mental health: https://go.usa.gov/xV3hH

ReVIDA Director of Corporate & Community Development Joins Regional Leadership Class
JOHNSON CITY – ReVIDA Recovery Centers CEO Lee Dilworth announced today that Angelee Murray, ReVIDA’s Director of Corporate & Community Development, has been selected for the Appalachian Leadership Institute, a leadership program sponsored by the Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC). Murray will join other rising leaders from 13 Appalachian states to learn more about the economic opportunities and challenges facing the region.
Angelee, a Carter County native, drives ReVIDA’s efforts to establish relationships with organizations throughout East Tennessee and Southwest Virginia that intersect with ReVIDA’s mission to empower people to reclaim their lives from opioid use disorder. Angelee is Founder and Board President of Red Legacy Recovery, a contracted Addiction Recovery Program (ARP) agency and a State Opioid Response (SOR) agency with TN Department of Mental Health & Substance Abuse Services.
"Angelee is a dedicated advocate for increased access to evidence-based, comprehensive recovery services, and we’re proud to have her as a part of our team at ReVIDA,” said ReVIDA Recovery Centers CEO Lee Dilworth. “This latest recognition from the Appalachian Leadership Institute demonstrates the deep connections and meaningful relationships she has built in order to break down stigma and fight the opioid epidemic in the region.”
“Thank you to the Appalachian Leadership Institute for including me in their leadership class alongside so many people doing impactful work in the Appalachian Highlands,” said Angelee Murray, ReVIDA Director of Corporate & Community Development. “I look forward to getting to know my peers and continuing to build connections to reduce opioid use disorder in our communities.”
Angelee’s career was built working across the nation in the fields of sales, marketing and image consulting with Mary Kay Cosmetics earning 13 Career Cars, with 6 of those being consecutive Pink Cadillacs. Angelee is Founder and Board President of Red Legacy Recovery, a contracted Addiction Recovery Program (ARP) agency and a State Opioid Response (SOR) agency with TN Department of Mental Health & Substance Abuse Services. In 2016, Murray was named as Advocate & Educator for the National Safety Council and participated as a panelist with former director of the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy, Michael Botticelli. Angelee serves on several boards across the Appalachian Highlands.
As a part of the Leadership Institute, Murray will participate in an extensive, nine-month series of skill-building seminars featuring regional experts, peer-to-peer learning, and case study analysis beginning virtually in mid-October through July, 2021. Upon completion of the program, Murray will automatically become part of the Appalachian Leadership Institute Network, a peer-to-peer working group committed to Appalachia’s future.

FAQs on COVID-19 and Addiction/Substance Use Disorder
Q: Are people who have an addiction or a substance use disorder (SUD) at greater risk for contracting COVID-19?
A: Much remains to be learned about COVID-19, including how it affects people who smoke or vape, or who have an SUD. However, it is known that these individuals are more likely to have suppressed immune systems, are at greater risk for respiratory infections, and may have lung and heart diseases. This could present a greater risk for COVID-19 infection, or more serious cases of the disease.
