May is Mental Health Awareness Month

Each year millions of Americans face the reality of living with a mental illness. During May, a national movement fights stigma, provides support, educates the public and advocates for policies that support people with mental illness and their families. Mental Health Month raises awareness of trauma and the impact it can have on the physical, emotional, and mental well-being of children, families, and communities. Mental Health support and therapy are available to LRCCD students at no cost through Timely MD. Telehealth services can be utilized for free in the moment support and/or for free scheduled short-term therapy.

For more information about mental health statistics, services, resources and how to help fight the stigma, please visit the following websites:
