💚 May is Mental Health Awareness Month

This month, we encourage open conversations, education, and support for those in need. Mental health is just as important as physical health, yet many are silent due to stigma or lack of resources.

Together, we can break the stigma, spread knowledge, and support each other to make a difference.

Our UT Health RGV primary care providers are here to support your mental and emotional well-being.

They can help you get started with care, answer your questions, and connect you to additional resources if needed, call 1-833-UTRGVMD (1-833-887-4863) or visit https://uthealthrgv.org/services/psychiatry-behavioral-health/index.htm
