Your Mental Health Matters

1 in 5 U.S. adults experience mental difficulties each year

Mental health awareness is hugely important as it includes includes our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel, and act. It also helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others, and make healthy choices.

By talking about mental health and focusing on awareness, we have the opportunity to reduce stigmatization around mental health and emphasize that as the World Health Organization states, “there is no health without mental health.” Every person, regardless of where they are on their mental health journey, are deserving of support, respect, fulfillment, and resources.

Mental Health Awareness Matters

Take Action, Raise Your Voice

Mental Health Awareness Month is recognized every May. Since its inception in 1949, it has been a cornerstone of addressing the challenges faced by millions of Americans living with mental health conditions. Each year, NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) actively participates in this national movement, dedicated to eradicating stigma, extending support, fostering public education and advocating for policies that prioritize the well being of individuals and families affected by mental illness.

We encourage you to join us in fostering open dialogues, cultivating empathy and understanding not just during Mental Health Awareness Month, but all year long. Our goal is to support individuals and families on their journey towards mental wellness.
