Guresky MHFC would like to wish everyone a very happy Labor Day!

On Labor Day we pay tribute to the contributions and achievements of the American worker. However, with the increased cost of living and rising housing prices, Americans are needing to work longer hours and, often times, more than one job.

According to the internet, 85.8% of males and 66.5% of females work more than 40 hours per week. This can be a fast track to occupational burnout. As a result, we, at Guresky Mental Health, would like to encourage everyone on the this Labor Day to practice good sound self-care in order to prevent employment from compromising your mental health.

The topic of this post is understanding addiction as a family disease. In the post, there are two things:

1. A very well written Psychology Today article that explains why Addiction is a Family Disease. The article is written by Dan Mager, MSW.
2. Following the article, is website developed by the partner of an addict. The developer uses her website as a means to share her story of being in an intimate relationship with an addict to the masses. I feel the producer of the content does an amazing job of painting a picture of what it is like to be in a relationship with an addict and illustrates how this relationship dynamic can thrive when everyone in the family receives and is committed to treatment. I feel the content producer has so much courage sharing her very personal story, and I strongly believe that there are many out there who need to hear what she has to say and can benefit from her message.
