Health and Social Awareness Highlight
May is Mental Health Awareness Month!
May kicks off Mental Health Awareness Month! Mental Health Awareness Month (MHAM) has been observed since 1949; raising awareness, sharing resources, and supporting the individuals and communities who need it most. This year’s theme is:
MORE GOOD DAYS, TOGETHER!
Mental health is often treated like a side note in healthcare. Something to be dealt with only after physical issues are addressed, or worse, something to be referred out and forgotten. Donaldson Edge Advocacy recognizes Mental Health Awareness and we’re reminding everyone that your story has power. Mental health awareness is more than just knowing about mental health conditions. It's about spotting the signs and symptoms, seeking help, understanding the impact on people and communities, and being able to have open and honest conversations.
If you or someone you know is struggling or having thoughts of suicide, call or text the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline at 988 or chat at 988lifeline.org . This service is confidential, free, and available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. In life-threatening situations, call 911.
