Mental Health Awareness Month
May is Mental Health Awareness Month, an annual observance founded by Mental Health America in 1949 to highlight the importance of mental wellbeing, educate the public, reduce stigma and promote support for those affected by mental health conditions. Each year, individuals and organizations come together to raise awareness and advocate for better mental health care and resources.
Tip: Volunteering, helping a friend or neighbor, or teaching someone a new skill fosters a feeling of connection and is good for your mental health! During #MHAM2025 and beyond, make a difference in someone’s life.
