Mental Health Awareness Month
May is Mental Health Month, a whole month dedicated to making mental health is something everyone should care about. The COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound impact on the mental health of people of all ages. Now, more than ever, it is critical to reduce the stigma around mental health struggles, because that stigma often prevents individuals from seeking help.
Similarly, April is Autism Awareness Month, dedicated to increasing understanding and acceptance of autism spectrum disorders. By recognizing both Mental Health Month and Autism Awareness Month, we emphasize the importance of prioritizing mental health and supporting individuals with autism in our communities.
