May is Mental Health Month!
National Alliance on Mental Illness
NAMI is dedicated to the eradication of mental illnesses and to the
improvement of the quality of life for persons of all ages who are
affected by mental illnesses.
Mental Health America is proud to continue its tradition of
celebrating "May is Mental Health Month," which began in
1949 to raise awareness of mental health conditions and
mental wellness for all.
This year, they are addressing these important issues
through two themes:
Do More for 1 in 4 is a call to action to help the 1 in 4 American
adults who live with a diagnosable, treatable mental health condition
and the fact that they can go on to live full and productive lives.
The second theme, Live Well! It's Essential for Your Potential,
focuses on the importance of mental wellness and the steps
everyone can take to improve their well-being and resiliency in the
face of difficult times and challenges.
Mental Health America's Live Your Life Well program offers ten
science-based tools to manage stress and help you relax, grow and
flourish.
