Happy Mental Health Awareness Month!

Every year, May is designated as Mental Health Awareness Month. Founded by Mental Health America in 1949, the month of May is designed to encourage mental wellness and well-being.

It is at this time of the year that mental health awareness is brought into the spotlight. There are so many ways to get involved! NAMI Maine is always happy to work with volunteer groups and organizations, or we encourage you to reach out and learn more about our programs and initiatives here in Maine!

This May, let's work together to reaffirm our commitment to our own mental health, and bring awareness to the importance of caring for our community’s mental health as part of our whole, as equal and crucial as our physical health. Mental Health IS Health!
