May Is Mental Health Awareness Month
May is Mental Health Awareness Month, a time to recognize the importance of mental well‑being, reduce stigma, and encourage open, supportive conversations.
Mental health is an essential part of overall health—and it can change over time due to stress, work‑life balance, and life experiences. Mental health conditions are common, and support can make a meaningful difference. This month, we encourage everyone to check in on themselves and on one another and take small, intentional steps toward well‑being.
💚 Why this matters:
- Nearly 1 in 5 adults live with a mental health condition each year
- Almost half of Americans will experience a diagnosable mental health condition in their lifetime
- Yet, many people do not receive the support they need
Mental Health Awareness Month helps normalize conversations and reinforces that seeking help is a sign of strength—not weakness.

🌱 Take one small step
Supporting your mental health doesn’t require a checklist. It might mean:
- Take a break when you need it
- Setting a boundary
- Spending time outside
- Talking with someone you trust
- Using available support resources like Lucet EAP
If you or someone you know is experiencing mental health‑related distress, help is available. In the U.S., you can call or text 988 to connect with the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline for free, confidential support.
Let’s use this month to learn, support one another, and continue the conversation—this month and beyond.
