May Is Mental Health Awareness Month - NIH Image

Mental Health America founded Mental Health Month in 1949. Every May, their organization comes together to continue the tradition of promoting awareness, offering vital resources and education, and advocating for the mental health and well-being of everyone. This year’s theme is Where to Start: Mental Health in a Changing World. 

The world is constantly changing – for better or for worse – and it can be overwhelming to deal with everything going on around you. While society is getting more comfortable discussing mental health, it can still be hard to know “Where to Start” when it comes to taking care of your own well-being.
