Mental Health Awareness Week
This year, Mental Health Awareness Week takes place
from May 16th to the 22nd and focuses its theme on 'Relationships'. Why relationships? Because good relationships are essential in maintaining good mental health. May also is recognized as Mental Health Month in general by Mental Health America.
Each year millions of Americans face the reality of living with a mental health condition. The focus is to bring awareness to mental illness and fight stigma, provide support, educate the public and advocate for equal care.
These issues are important to address year round, but highlighting these issues during Mental Health Awareness Week provides a time for people to come together and display the passion and strength of those working to improve the lives of the tens of millions of Americans affected by mental illness.
