MAY IS MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS MONTH

By Jahiah Wilson

Mental Health Awareness Month has been observed in the United States since 1949. May is a time to raise awareness of and reduce the stigma surrounding behavioral health.

During National Mental Health Awareness Month, Spring Creek Senior Partners honor the absolute courage of the residents living with mental health conditions. We also recognize and appreciate all the mental health professionals who provide on-going support for our older Americans living with a mental health diagnosis.
