Mental Health Awareness Month – May 2024

Mental health is wealth, especially during Mental Health Awareness Month, celebrated in May.  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.  While Mental Health Awareness Month is celebrated in the U.S., a more universal day is also celebrated by the WHO on October 10, and it is known as World Mental Health Day.   To obtain further information, please MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS MONTH (nationaltoday.com)
