Since it began in 1949, Mental Health Month has provided the opportunity to recognize the importance of mental health and spread awareness.

In light of the COVID-19 pandemic and social distancing guidelines, it's now more important than ever to spread the word about the importance of mental health. Even for those who have not been diagnosed with a condition, the pandemic is presenting new and potentially challenging mental health issues.
