Featured Event: May is Mental Health Month
The stigma around mental health and treatment has long existed, even though this has started to change. Still, people hesitate to seek help or even talk about it with their loved ones for fear of being judged and facing unnecessary backlash. Simple logic dictates that if we are hurt anywhere, we must seek treatment to get better. This applies to both our mental- and physical well-being.
Mental Health America, the nation’s leading national nonprofit dedicated to the promotion of mental health, well-being, and condition prevention, founded Mental Health Month in 1949 and has led the effort every May to promote mental wellness nationwide.
