Navigating Support for Mental Health Awareness Month
May is Mental Health Awareness Month, a time dedicated to raising awareness about mental health conditions and helping break the stigma surrounding these issues. As we recognize the significance of this month, our team at Daggett Shuler is committed to shedding light on the importance of mental health resources available in North Carolina.
Understanding Mental Health Awareness Month
Mental Health Awareness Month originated in the United States in 1949 and has since been observed globally. It aims to educate the public about mental health issues, promote wellness, and advocate for policies that support those affected by mental illness. This year, the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) is leading efforts to raise awareness about mental health throughout the month.
