The Monroe County Legislature is declaring May Mental Health Awareness Month.

That's in conjunction with the 30th anniversary of Coordinated Care Services, Inc.

The non-profit specializes in managing public mental health services in Monroe and Livingston counties.

The agency's president says the pandemic brought to light problems that were already there.

"The additional stress the isolation, you know, everything else people were already dealing with I think it was just exacerbated," Anne Wilder, president at Coordinated Care Services, Inc., said.

May is also Skin Cancer Awareness Month.

Local dermatological services took part in a skin cancer screening drive Saturday from 9 a.m. to noon.

Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer in the U.S., but doctors say it's very treatable.

"You know, I always think to myself, when the time comes and I leave this earth, if I save someone from dying from melanoma I did my job, Rochester Regional Health lead dermatologist Dr. Nana Duffy said. “So this is really kind of what feeds our souls is keeping people safe from really bad skin cancers that could be treated early."

Even before seeing a dermatologist, you can check for early signs of skin cancer.

Doctors say to look for multicolor dark spots, unusual new spots, moles or lesions of the skin.
