Mental Health Month is observed in May. Each year millions of Americans face the reality of living with a mental illness. During May, join the movement to raise awareness about mental health, fight stigma, provide support, educate the public and advocate for policies that support people with mental illness and their families.

Mental Health Month calls attention to the fact that mental health conditions affect about one in five American every year. Although society has become more understanding and accepting of mental health issues, the stigma still exists. Bringing awareness to the stigma of mental illness is the first step in fighting for change.
