May is Mental Health Awareness Month, a time to raise awareness of mental health and reduce the stigma surrounding it. Mental health is an important part of overall health and well-being, and it affects how we think, feel, act, make healthy choices, and relate to others. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, nearly one in five Americans lives with a mental health condition. It's important to remember that you are not alone, and there are actions individuals can take this month to improve their mental health and well-being. This month gives us an opportunity to increase awareness of the importance of mental health and celebrate the tremendous strides that have been made in promoting mental health. Let's take care of ourselves and each other.

May is the month to raise awareness of those people living with mental health struggles and help reduce the stigma so many experiences.

We want to make sure we recognize that nearly one in five Americans lives with a mental health condition, according to the National Institute of Mental Health.

Experts stress that now is the time to focus on healing, reaching out, and connecting safely by acknowledging that it’s okay to not be okay.

Mental Health Month gives all of us a great opportunity to celebrate the tremendous strides that have been made in promoting mental health and increasing the public’s knowledge that effective services and support are available.

Don’t struggle in silence.

Sexual Assault Prevention and Awareness Month is a

Sexual Assault Prevention and Awareness Month is an annual designation observed in April.

The mission of this month is to raise awareness about sexual violence around the world, and to educate communities on how to prevent it.

Use your voice and any platform you have to spread the word to end sexual assault all over the world.

Another way to participate this month is to wear the color teal to honor survivors and keep the conversation going.

Sexual assault is a horrific problem, but the good news is that prevention is possible, and it’s happening more and more.

By ending the stigma and continuing support and awareness programs, we are slowly but surely able to lower the number of sexual assaults that occur every year.

National Minority Health Month is observed the ent

National Minority Health Month is observed the entire month of April. It is an inclusive initiative that targets the health needs of African Americans, Hispanics, Asians, Native Americans, and other minorities. It builds awareness regarding the unequal burden of preventable death and sickness in these groups. It also promotes action through health education and early management of disease complications. In a multicultural society such as the U.S., access to healthcare for everyone is paramount for the country’s continued progress.

Worry and stress are feelings that everyone face in their daily life.
Stress can come from many aspects of living.

At its core, though, it’s meant to be a sort of warning bell within the body, alerting it to dangers or hazards both physical and psychological.

In moderation, stress can improve function, increasing motivation and assisting with memory, learning, and focus. However, chronic or extreme stress can have a negative impact on both your mental and physical health.

This is why we have National Stress Awareness Day.

It’s beneficial to learn more about stress, and find ways to decrease and manage it.
