May is Mental Health Awareness Month (MHAM).

Mental health is part of everyday life. It shapes how we think, feel, connect with others, and move through the world. This year’s theme highlights the importance of:

- Noticing early signs of mental health concerns
- Strengthening the support around us
- Responding with care and compassion during challenging moments

Mental health touches every part of life — from housing and work to relationships and community. When mental health challenges arise, they often intersect with substance use, and whole person care that addresses both is essential to lasting recovery and well-being.
