Welcome

Stroke is the leading cause of death in the United States and is a major cause of serious disability for adults.  What do we need to know and what can we do to help ourselves or someone else? By knowing the signs and symptoms of stroke and acting F.A.S.T., you can take action and perhaps save a life. 

Everyone is subject to a scam. Fraudsters are always looking for ways to get your personal data, and it’s no surprise that we need to learn how to identify and protect ourselves from fraud and scams.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and HHSA’s Mental Health Branch is seeking to raise awareness of the role mental health plays in all of our lives. Anyone can take steps to promote good mental health; treatment is available, and recovery is possible. 

Observed in the United States since 1949, May is Mental Health Awareness Month. If you did not know California offers free, confidential mental health support to residents of all ages—no insurance or referral required.
