May is Mental Health Awareness Month

The AAFP recognizes May as Mental Health Awareness Month. This annual observance promotes education about mental health and well-being and helps reduce the stigma surrounding mental illness. Family physicians play a critical role in addressing mental health, as they are often the first point of contact for patients seeking care and can provide screening, diagnosis, and treatment for mental health conditions.

From Podium to Practice: What You Missed at Ignite 2026

If you weren’t in Orlando for Ignite: 2026 FAFP Spring Forum held April 17–19 at the Hilton Orlando (yes, the one with the lazy river and steps away from the parks)—here’s what you missed.

Family physicians from across Florida gathered—both in person and virtually—for three days of high-yield, practice-changing education! Nearly 200 medical students and residents joined us as well, a powerful reminder that the future of family medicine is bright and engaged. Visit fafp.org/ignite-what-you-missed to learn more!
