SHARE - AR State Health Alliance for Records Exchange
Congratulations are due to Ms. Ariel Barnes, teller at Forrest City Water Utility.
Ms. Barnes was the winner of the April drawing.
April was Oral Awareness Month.
The Share Health Education Campaign includes 12 ready-to-distribute workplace newsletters and educational handouts for each month's health topics.
The content has important health highlights, clinical screening recommendations (if applicable) current scientific/ medical guidelines relative to the topic as well as recipes and an interactive activity.
The interactive activity has been designed to increase employee engagement. Research studies have shown that hands-on, experimental actions (kinesthetic learning) not only generate more participation, but also influences knowledge, attitudes, beliefs, and future health behaviors.
Each month employees submit their interactive activity results.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month
Here are some important factors to consider.
It’s important to be aware of the impact mental health has on our society. Unfortunately, recent studies have found American’s mental health is worsening.
Here’s the facts you need to know:
- 1 in 5 adults experience a mental illness.
- 17% of adolescents aged 12-17 experience at least one depressive episode.
- 33.5% of adults with a mental illness also have a substance use disorder
- Anxiety Disorders are the most common form of mental illness
_ 19.1% of adults experience anxiety disorders.
A lot of people don’t get the mental health help they need because they don’t understand mental illness or the treatment options out there. 40% of people believe therapy doesn’t work, 39% don’t have enough time, and 37% don’t have robust enough insurance.
By raising awareness through events like Mental Health Awareness Month, we can connect more people to the life-saving resources they need.

Forrest City Water Customers:
Water is temporarily off in Jefferson and Bridge Street are in Madison. We do apologize for the inconvenience. We plan to have water restored as soon as possible. Thank you.
May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and it is a time to raise awareness of and reduce the stigma surrounding behavioral health issues. It’s also a time to recognize how mental illness and addiction can affect all of us — patients, providers, families and our society at large.
