This Mental Health Month, help us highlight the intersection of mental health and the everyday with our “Mental Health +” campaign.
We know it can be easy to treat mental health as a separate part of our life, distinct from our personal and professional selves. But mental health is interwoven into everything – sometimes we just might need help noticing it.
Join us in suggesting simple actions and ideas for seeing, addressing, and valuing the presence of our mental health in all areas of our life.
