Mental Health Month
Congress designated May as Mental Health Awareness Month in 1949 to illustrate the importance of mental health issues to the overall health and well-being of American citizens. APA will spotlight a range of issues including traumatized children and health disparities among diverse older Americans in recognition of Mental Health Awareness Month.
Once again, APA is a proud partner in the national Speak Up For Kids campaign. Throughout May, the campaign will draw attention to the barriers to mental health care experienced by children and their families.
In addition, APA’s Public Education Blog, Your Mind Your Body, will host a Blog Day on May 15th, where bloggers around the world will write on mental health topics that are meaningful to them.
