While Mental Health America encourages voting, advocating, and learning about the issues, it is also important that people care for their own well-being – especially amid everything else going on in the world. Consider taking a free, private mental health test to check in with yourself, or use these resources.
Together, let's make 2024 a year of positive change—for our nation and for ourselves.
