Mental Health Month

The month of May has been designated as Mental Health Month for the past 52 years.  Every year Mental Health America comes out with campaigns during the month of May to promote the wellbeing of people living with mental health conditions.  The focus this year is on youth and social connectedness in order to help with depression.  Two new slogans were also introduced: "Do More for 1 in 4" and "Live Well! It's Essential for Your Potential"

Here's what Mental Health America has to say about their slogans:

"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."

"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."
