What's Happening

May is Mental Health Awareness Month — a time to highlight the importance of emotional well-being and encourage open, honest conversations about mental health. It serves as a reminder that mental health is just as important as physical health and impacts how we think, feel, and connect with others every day. The month focuses on reducing stigma, increasing understanding, and promoting access to support and resources for those who may be struggling.

This year, Mental Health America is highlighting the theme “More Good Days, Together,” encouraging people to reflect on what a “good day” looks like for them and how connection, support, and compassion can help create  more of those moments. Whether your “good day” means feeling grounded, getting through something hard, reaching out for support, or simply taking a moment to breathe — it counts.

Mental Health America has compiled an action guide that offers activities, reflection prompts, and educational materials. It encourages individuals to explore what mental wellness looks like for them personally — such as  defining what a “good day” means, building healthy habits, and identifying sources of support.
