Besides year-round, May is the month for raising awareness for those living with mental health issues to help diminish the stigma, help others and learn more. Each year, millions of Americans face the reality of living with a mental illness. Founded in 1949, Mental Health Awareness Month, which takes place from May 1^st to May 31^st, was created to bring awareness and educate the public about mental illnesses, the realities of living with such conditions, and strategies to cope for attaining wellness.

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has had a tremendous impact on the mental health of people of all ages. Today, more than ever before, it is essential to reduce the stigma around mental health struggles. It is crucial to let our communities and close ones know that behavioral health and medical care services are available if needed.
