Mental Health Awareness Month

Turn Awareness into Action for Mental Health

Every year since 1949, when Mental Health America founded Mental Health Awareness Month in May, GFWC has been at the forefront promoting public awareness activities to educate the masses on this prevalent and ever evolving health concern.

Mental health affects everyone in one degree or another on a personal level. You may experience a mental health crisis due to any significant life occurrence(s) or maybe you have a family member who has been personally impacted.

Regardless of your personal experience with mental health illnesses, let's collectively rally to do all we can to educate the public about the importance of taking care of one another and let's advocate to remove the stigma associated with it.

Visit the @Mental Health America to learn more on this subject and how you too can become an advocate of action. For more information on activities, visit: https://mhanational.org/mental-health-month/action-guide/

Also, don't forget to checkout The Yellow Tulip Project, founded by Julia Hansen and her mother Suzanne Fox, GFWC Honorary Chairman. The organization's purpose is to let people know that "Hope Happens" and we need to come together as a community to smash the stigma surrounding mental health disorders.
