Mental Health Month

Mental Health America founded Mental Health Month in 1949 and has led the effort every May to promote mental wellness nationwide.

BIPOC Mental Health Month

Each July, we honor the legacy of author, advocate, and trailblazer Bebe Moore Campbell by recognizing Bebe Moore Campbell National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month. Moore Campbell’s ability to tell impactful stories highlighting themes of racism, mental health, and family left a lasting mark on this world and is a foundation for much of the work that continues in support of Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) mental health.

Supporting Young Minds

Mental Health America’s Supporting Young Minds guides have been created to empower parents, caregivers, teachers, and others to provide support by fostering nonjudgmental environments where young people feel safe expressing themselves.
