May 2025

May is an important month. It bridges spring and summer and with it comes longer days, abundant sunshine, and beautiful flowers. It's also the month we celebrate Mental Health Awareness across America. A vibrant month to shine a light into darkness, to open the door to stigma-reducing conversations, and share the numerous ways we can proactively take care of our mental health. I invite you to take a look at all the ways Cameron's team has diligently prepared a month of self-care and community and ask that you consider helping us to fight the good fight against depression and anxiety.

Self-Care Calendar

Throughout this month, we’re encouraging everyone to take a moment for themselves and focus on the importance of mental health. 

Our Self-Care Calendar Guide is designed to help you incorporate small, positive habits into your daily routine. Each day offers simple self-care activities that can reduce stress, boost your mood, and support your mental well-being. 

Whether it's practicing mindfulness, journaling, or reaching out for support, these small actions can make a big difference. Let’s come together this May to raise awareness and take care of our minds, just as we do our bodies!
