Why Mental Health Matters

May is Mental Health Awareness Month—a time to shine a light on the importance of mental well-being, reduce the stigma surrounding mental health challenges, and encourage open, supportive conversations in our communities, workplaces, and homes.

Mental health is just as essential as physical health. It influences how we think, feel, and act, as well as how we relate to others and manage stress. According to Mental Health America, nearly 1 in 5 American adults experiences a diagnosable mental health condition each year.

From anxiety and depression to burnout and trauma, mental health challenges impact nearly everyone—whether personally or through someone we care about.

 

Supporting Mental Health in Everyday Life

Here are some simple yet powerful ways to support mental health:

  • Check in on yourself and others regularly.

  • Set boundaries and prioritize rest.

  • Normalize therapy and seeking professional help.

  • Foster community by creating safe spaces where people can share without fear or shame.
