Mental Health Awareness Month
Mental Health Awareness Month
Mental Health Awareness Month is an opportunity to raise awareness, reduce stigma, and remind our community that mental health is an important part of overall well-being. Throughout May, our agency joins communities across the country in encouraging open conversations, sharing resources, and promoting positive mental health. Each year, we offer information, tips, and engaging activities designed to connect, educate, and support members of our community.
Wear green on the first Thursday in May to recognize National Children’s Mental Health Awareness Day!

Activate Your Wellness – “Activate Your Wellness” promotes wellbeing through awareness messages and calls to action. The campaign is all about representing positivity, growth, and optimism. We want Virginians to know that it's okay if their wellness is not where they want it to be because even a small step can help create positive change!
SAMHSA - Creating A Healthier Life - Every aspect of wellness can affect a person’s life. Working toward all of them in one way or another is a great goal, because wellness relates directly to the quality of a person’s life. This guide offers a broad approach for things we can do—at our own pace, in our own time, and within our own abilities—that can help us feel better and live longer.
