Since 1949, Mental Health Awareness Month has played a vital role in bringing attention to the struggles of those living with mental health conditions. Today, your voice and actions matter more than ever. By telling your story, raising awareness, or pushing for change, you contribute to ending stigma and creating a more compassionate, inclusive world.
