USA Today health reporter Janice Lloyd says that of the 45.9 million people who reported having a mental illness, only 39.2% of them said they have received treatment. With these statistics, it appears that 27,907,200 people did not receive the adequate care they needed. There could be several reasons why people have not received treatment, but one of the main reasons is the stigma behind mental illness. It causes people who struggle with mental illness to feel embarrassed about their disorder; unfortunately I was one of them. I was ashamed to admit my depression to my friends and family because I was deeply afraid of how differently they might see me. After experiencing these kinds of feelings, I realized that Druss, of Emory University, and Deborah A. Perlick, of Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City, said that independent living, education/employment, and good health mental and physical are linked to a good quality of life (39). Comparing someone who has a mental illness and these three goods, one would observe that he does not possess all three. In some cases, they may have one or two assets, while others have none. The availability of specific services offers these people the potential to achieve and maintain independent living, education/employment and good mental and physical health. This is exactly what Hope Network services do for all types of people, even those without mental illness. On the Hope Network's official website they detail the accommodations they offer specifically for people with mental illnesses. For example, residential treatment, specialized residential treatment, residential crisis treatment, and supported independent living (Hope Network). Where each one meets the particular needs of each individual patient. Everyone's mental illnesses or problems are unique and Hope Network understands this. These services are very useful for those who do not have the ability to live alone and also help them to have better mental and physical health. In a report by the National Alliance of Mental Health, an organization committed to improving the lives of Americans who are affected by mental illnesses, they state that it is more effective when a rehabilitation program places people with mental illnesses in a job rather than in a simple training (3). Hope Network uses a smart approach to apply this method. Hope Network Services Corporation provides its cleaning services to businesses and organizations that employ people with severe disabilities (Hope Network). They have no judgment or discrimination against these individuals. Even though there are risks, Hope Network still offers them this opportunity. For other people who do not get a job from Hope Network, they are still provided with many activities that give them the chance to obtain successful employment, such as personalized skills assessments, employability skills training, resume writing and practice interview, specific professional practical skills, training and support services for job placement and retention (Hope Network). No matter what employment services they receive from Hope Network, they will always receive them
