✨ May is Mental Health Awareness Month ✨
Did you know that nearly 1 in 4 adults aged 18 and older in Arizona experienced any mental health illness in the prior year? Many go untreated due to stigma, lack of resources, or support.
At Help Young Adults Arizona, our mission is to help young adults thrive in all areas of their lives by providing services, support, mentorship, and access to resources that unlock their true potential.
We kicked off Mental Health Awareness Month early this past Sunday with a nonalcoholic Sip N Paint at Chicken N Pickle, led by the wonderfully talented Diamin Nicole of Picture Pearlfect . The event celebrated art as a therapeutic outlet to manage stress in a fun and supportive environment. We had an amazing time!
We want to extend a heartfelt THANK YOU to Chicken N Pickle - Glendale for your beautiful space, warm atmosphere, and generous accommodations. Your hospitality made this event not just possible—but truly special. We are so grateful for your support and partnership in creating safe, uplifting environments for our community.
An additional special thanks to:
• Diamin Nicole – your talent and spirit are unmatched. We are so grateful for your partnership and can’t wait to create more with you!
• Walmart – thank you for helping us fill our thank-you bags with “Mental Health Matters: Self-Care Isn’t Selfish” shirts, journals, sound spas, inspirational reads & more.
• Juan Te, Executive Director at Dsquared Homes for the Homeless, and
• Principal Gooding & Mr. Sanders at Desiderata High School – your sponsorship and belief in our mission means the world. Your dedication to our community drives real change.
We are building a stronger, healthier future—one young adult at a time.
Check out our recap video from Sunday!
Together, we are the change.
