HOLLAND, MI (WHTC) – The 3rd Annual Running for Recovery 5K not only raises money for mental illness, but also brings the topic to the forefront.
It’s sponsored by The Lakeshore Clubhouse. The Clubhouse is an International accredited program with the singular mission of assisting people in their recovery from mental illness and reintegration into the community.
According to Lakeshore Clubhouse, nearly one-in-five people are affected by mental illness this year. Misunderstanding and the stigma about mental illness still exists. Eighty-five to ninety-five percent of adults with serious mental illness are chronically unemployed. Treatment of mental illness continues to focus on maintenance instead of recovery.
