July is National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month! ⭐️

It's a time to bring awareness to the unique challenges that racial and ethnic minorities in the United States face when it comes to mental illness. 🧠

In 2020, fewer than one in every two African American adults got care for mental health. In 2018, Asian Americans were 60 percent less likely to receive mental health treatment than non-Hispanic Whites. Obstacles for many include a lack of health insurance, less access to treatment, and stigma. 💡

Mental illness can affect people of all races and ethnicities. Show your support this month and beyond by learning more about mental health. You can also use and share resources to help spread awareness about mental health in your communities and families. 🌍

June is Men’s Health Month! 💪

There is often a strong focus on men’s physical health — fitness, annual checkups, and heart health — but mental well-being is equally as important because mental health is health! 🧠

Just as the body needs care and attention, so does emotional and mental well-being. Yet, there is a silent crisis in men’s mental health — one that too often goes unnoticed or unspoken. Tragically, men are nearly four times more likely to die by su***de than women, underscoring the urgent need to break this silence and seek support. 💙

Small steps can lead to significant change, changes that we all can lead together. Let’s build a culture where men feel safe speaking up and reaching out. As a community, we can break the stigma, support one another, and ensure no one struggles in silence. ⭐

True wealth is having good health, happiness, and peace of mind. ✨

It's Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month! ☀️

Throughout our history, the United States has been strengthened by the contributions of citizens from every background, united in the shared pursuit of the American Dream. As we recognize AAPI Heritage Month, we celebrate the deep and enduring impact that Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders have had on our Nation. Forged by hardship and trial, they have never wavered in their contributions toward the advancement of our common destiny. ⭐

May is Mental Health Awareness Month! 💚🎗

2025's theme is Unmasking Mental Health ✨

This theme highlights the emotional burden people carry when they hide their mental health struggles due to stigma or fear of judgment. 💡

Living with a mental health or substance use challenge is hard enough; masking can make it even harder. Living with mental health challenges often forces people to hide behind a “mask” to protect themselves from judgment and discrimination. But the heavier the stigma, the heavier the mask becomes, and the more isolated we feel. 🎭

We’re encouraging people to look beyond the surface and see the whole person. By embracing honesty and vulnerability, we open the door to deeper connections and the mental health benefits that come with it. In doing so, we can create a ripple effect of courage and understanding across the world. 🌍

Take action, raise your voice, and help change the conversation around mental health! Let's fuel connection, understanding, and hope for those navigating their own mental health path. Whether by sharing your story, spreading awareness, or advocating for change, every action helps break the stigma and build a more supportive world for all.

🧠💕🧘😌🙏🌍💚🎗💡✨
