May is Mental Health Awareness Month

May is Mental Health Awareness Month. While mental health is important to address year-round, Mental Health Awareness Month provides a dedicated time for people, organizations, and communities to join their voices to broadcast the message that mental health matters.

This year’s Mental Health Awareness Month theme is “You matter.” The theme is intended to remind you that no matter who you are, where you are from, or what you are going through, you belong here and matter to the people in your life and community.

Whether it’s through advocacy, education, community engagement, or direct action in our own lives, “You matter” reflects our commitment to creating a world where everyone’s mental health is valued and supported, no matter who they are.

Let’s all take a moment everyday to let someone know that they matter.
