May is Mental Health Awareness Month.

Mental health isn’t just about the stressors we talk about most—like work or relationships. It’s also shaped by chronic, systemic forces like racism, homophobia, and discrimination. These aren’t just social issues—they’re public health issues.

Mental health is:
something we all have,
something we all deserve to protect,
and something that is deeply impacted by the world around us.

If you’re feeling it, you’re not alone. And if you need support, we’re here.
