May is National Mental Health Awareness Month, and this year’s theme is “You are not alone.” The goal of the national campaign is to promote a shared vision of a nation where anyone affected by mental illness can get the appropriate support and quality of care to live a healthy, fulfilling life - a nation where no one feels alone in their struggle. We will use this time to focus on the healing value of connecting in safe ways, prioritizing mental health, and acknowledging that it is okay to not be okay. All month, mental health advocates, prevention organizations, allies, and community members alike will unite to promote mental health awareness across the country. While mental health and wellness is important to address year-round, the month of May provides dedicated time to come together with collective strength around this topic. Now more than ever, it is important to have honest conversations about mental health and wellness, because just one conversation can change a life. Everyone is encouraged to learn more about how we can help those around us and connect people to resources. Find more information on our website.
