Mental Health Awareness Month, Recognizing Stories and Strength

May is National Mental Health Awareness Month. In addition to furthering conversation and raising awareness about the stigmas associated with mental health, Olinsky Law Group is heavily promoting and identifying the importance of the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) 2025 campaign, “In Every Story, There’s Strength.”

The Olinsky Law Group team is no stranger to the severity and challenges mental health disorders present. Recognized by the tagline, “Disability Law is All We Do,” Olinsky Law Group solely focuses on this practice area, to give those fighting for disability benefits the best chance at winning. As a result, the team is extremely knowledgeable on the various impairments limiting those from working and are especially well-versed in understanding the impacts and struggles related to mental health disorders.

Not all disabilities are visible. According to the Social Security Administration, a disability is defined as the “inability to engage in any substantial gainful activity because of a medically determinable physical or mental disability that is expected to last for at least 12 months or result in death.” Ultimately, there are various types of mental health disorders that are among the leading causes of disability worldwide.

To Olinsky Law Group, “In Every Story, There’s Strength,” is a perfect representation of the unique stories and challenges each client endures managing their own disability, and especially the hard fight they encounter when applying for disability benefits. The team of strong advocates at Olinsky Law Group has made it their mission to help people with disabilities, including those with mental health disorders.

For disability representatives, understanding the reality behind mental health is extremely important. Although the approval percentage has increased, they often witness individuals being denied as mental health disorders are not always as easily documented or understood. The support and advocacy displayed every day by disability representatives not only contributes to effectively representing their clients, but also the important conversations necessary to spread mental health awareness.

Representing clients with all types of disabilities, including mental health disorders, the Olinsky Law Group team makes it their mission to not only provide exceptional legal services, but more importantly, understand each client’s unique story and the strength they exert. For Olinsky Law Group, the 2025 NAMI campaign for Mental Health Awareness Month is important, as the message is ultimately a notion that the firm perpetually practices with every client, recognizing their strength while helping them throughout their challenging fight for benefits.
