May is Mental Health Awareness Month (MHAM), a time when many organizations rally to raise awareness about mental health, provide support, fight stigma, and educate. Though we should always be addressing and protecting our mental health and looking out for those in our community who might need support, the national conversation during the month of May can serve as an important reminder. During the 2026 MHAM, NAMI is celebrating Mental Health Awareness Month by inviting everyone to join in speaking up against mental health stigma.

This month, consider bringing intentionality around accessing support and care for yourself and reach out to colleagues and learners and check in on their well-being. Many of us hesitate to speak up about our struggles for fear of stigma, this is a narrative we must challenge. Perhaps it is time to tell your story and ask about someone else's story. If you are searching for the right words, consider accessing this PDF and consider a change in your own narrative that can include: 

• Accessing care is brave, professional, and honorable 
• Taking care of myself means I am protecting myself, my family, my patients, my career
• The earlier I get support, the easier it will be to tackle the stress
• I will value myself and not defer my needs
• I will reach out to my friends and colleagues and check in on their well-being

Please be reminded that trainees and faculty have access to confidential, no fee counseling services through the Academic and Staff Assistance Program (ASAP) by calling (916) 734-2727 or emailing asaphealth@ucdavis.edu.
