March is #NationalColorectalCancerAwarenessMonth! According to Colorectal Cancer Alliance, colorectal cancer is the second deadliest cancer in the United States. Did you know that it's highly preventable with screening? Screening can find the warning signs of colon and rectal cancer, so you can take action to stop the disease. Screening can also find colorectal cancer early, when treatment is most effective.

Schizophrenia and related psychosis disorders affect at least 1 in 100 people in the U.S. – about 2 million adults. However, the prevalence of schizophrenia may be dramatically underreported because people with schizophrenia often reside in locations that are hard for surveyors to access, including homeless shelters, county jails, state prisons, and nursing facilities. About half of those with schizophrenia have co-occurring mental or behavioral health disorders. As the nation’s leading non-profit organization dedicated to solving the foundational problems that create barriers to treatment for people living with schizophrenia, the Schizophrenia & Psychosis Action Alliance (S&PAA) firmly believes that people living with schizophrenia deserve effective treatment, access to comprehensive care, and to be treated with respect and urgency. ??
