Mental Health Month
This year, two issues are highlighted:
Do More for 1 in 4 is a call to action to help the 1 in 4 adults living with a diagnosable, treatable mental health condition, and who can go on to live full and productive lives
Healing Trauma's Invisible Wounds focuses on the impact of traumatic events on individuals and communities.
