May is Mental Health Awareness Month
|
|
Mental Health Awareness Month is a national movement aimed at raising awareness about mental health to work toward erasing the stigma surrounding it.
Many factors come into play when it comes to mental health. Take some time to look around and make note of your surroundings, and look within to see how they might be affecting you.
