May is Mental Health Month: Mental Health Wire Resources

Since 1949, the month of May has served as a cornerstone for mental health advocacy in the United States. Established by Mental Health America, Mental Health Awareness Month is our annual opportunity to shine a spotlight on the importance of mental well-being, educate our neighbors, and shatter the stigma that often surrounds mental health conditions.

This year, the national theme “More Good Days, Together” reminds us that while the journey toward healing is personal, we don’t have to walk it alone. At NAMI CCNS, we believe that community connection is the most powerful tool we have. Whether you are navigating your own mental health journey, supporting a loved one, or looking to become a better advocate, this month is about recognizing that every voice matters and every story has the power to spark hope.
