May Mental Health Awareness Month resources

Since 1949, May has been recognized as Mental Health Awareness Month (MHAM). One in every five individuals will experience a mental health crisis in their lifetime. Many will not seek help due to stigma that often surrounds mental illness. Together, we can end stigma and create a culture of acceptance and inclusion. A variety of resources are included below for community members and providers to use and promote during this month and beyond:

• In Crisis? Call or Text 988
• Mental Health America Tools to Thrive
• CDC -Suicide Prevention Resources for Action
• Washington Implementation of 988
• NAMI National Alliance on Mental Illness
