Mental Health Awareness Month provides education about the reality of living with a mental health condition—while it can make life more difficult, it doesn't have to stop someone from having a fulfilling life.

When is Mental Health Awareness Month?
May is Mental Health Awareness Month. While it was first recognized in 1949, it has never been more important than now to recognize the role mental health plays in our overall well-being and the value in raising awareness and helping those in need receive treatment.

What is Mental Health Awareness Month?
Mental Health Awareness Month was originally established by the Mental Health America organization and is recognized during the month of May. It was created as a way to educate the public about mental illness, raise awareness surrounding research and treatments, reduce the stigma associated with mental illness, and celebrate recovery from mental illness. Because of misconceptions and stigma surrounding mental health issues, people often suffer in silence and don’t seek treatment for their conditions. Mental health awareness is an important initiative to improve understanding of mental health conditions and increase access to healthcare for those who need it.Copyright Boma big name Hygiene & Healthy Living
