This field of green and white pinwheels is on a grass plot at the front of the Wilton library. The 290 green pinwheels represent the number of calls in 2025 to the Wilton mental health crisis line.
The 435 white pinwheels represent the 3 in 5 Wilton residents thought to be suffering from mental health challenges who did not reach out for help. Wow!
A significant percent of Americans are in need of mental health treatment. Some are receiving treatment, but many are not, and that is a sad state as this sign points out.
ReplyDeleteI hope that those who didn't reach out for help found another source for their struggles.
ReplyDeleteA sobering post, Jack.
ReplyDeleteProbably the same all around the world.
