Mental Health Awareness Month

Dear Friends,

In a world where mental health challenges affect millions, awareness is just the beginning. This year, we’re taking a bold step forward with our theme: “Turn Awareness into Action.” It’s time to
transform understanding into tangible support, compassion into concrete steps, and intentions into real-world impact.

Since its founding in 1949, each May, We have helped to lead the charge to promote mental wellness. 

That’s what makes this year’s Mental Health Awareness Month – May 2025 – so special and so important. Our planning committee, in collaboration with Mental Health America, our national parent organization, will help you learn how to take action to improve your personal mental health or as part of the larger mental health movement. 

Mental health is more visible than ever before, but awareness alone isn’t enough. Now is the moment to turn awareness into powerful, positive action for lasting change. Are you ready to
make a difference? Let’s make this the most impactful Mental Health Month yet.

So follow the calendars at www.MHAMonth.org and on our Facebook page to connect with a new :”action” every day of the month. We urge you to save and reuse the ones that work for you. And please, share these “actions” with your family and friends.

On behalf of Association for Mental Health and Wellness, I wish you and your family good health and good mental health!

Sincerely,

Colleen Merlo, LMSW
Chief Executive Officer
