World Mental Health Day – A Time to Prioritize Wellbeing and Recovery

Thursday, October 10th is World Mental Health Day, a day we come together as a global community to raise awareness of mental health issues and to advocate for those who need support. It’s an opportunity to reflect on the importance of mental health in all aspects of our lives, especially for those in recovery from addiction and homelessness.

At Dallas 24 Hour Club, we know firsthand how intertwined mental health and addiction are. Many of our Residents have experienced trauma, depression, anxiety, or other mental health struggles that contribute to their addiction. For them, the journey to recovery is not just about overcoming substance abuse—it’s about healing the mind, body, and spirit. That’s why mental health care is a crucial part of our approach.


We are proud to have resource partners who can provide essential behavioral health services for our Residents. These partners offer therapy, individual counseling, and medical care to support our Residents' overall well-being. These services give our Residents the tools they need to manage their mental health as they work towards sobriety.


Mental health support also extends beyond our resource partners. Recovery is rooted in community, and our Residents find strength in the supportive environment created at The 24. They lean on each other, share their struggles and successes, and provide a network of hope that helps them through tough times.


This World Mental Health Day, let’s remember that mental health is just as important as physical health. For those in recovery, taking care of their mental health is a vital part of achieving long-term sobriety. Whether it’s seeking therapy, practicing mindfulness, or finding joy in small victories, maintaining mental wellness is an ongoing process—and one that deserves recognition and support.

We encourage everyone to take a moment to prioritize mental health. Reach out to a friend, a family member, or a professional if you need help. Mental health challenges should never be faced alone, and there are resources available to help everyone navigate the journey.

Let’s continue to break the stigma surrounding mental health, especially in recovery communities. Together, we can build a future where mental health is valued and supported for all.
