According to Mental Health America, formerly known as the National Mental Health Association, Mental Health Month was created more than 50 years ago to raise awareness about mental health conditions and the importance of mental wellness for all. During Mental Health Month this year, Mental Health America is focusing on social connectedness as a means to support mental health. To learn more about what social connectedness is, and for more information on how to become socially connected, visit the Mental Health America website here. Also available on the Mental Health America site is access to an array of materials including information on depression, as well as a depression screener and other tools to help assess your mental health or that of someone you know. To see a full list of available material, visit the website here.
