May is Mental Health Awareness Month! Mental health is essential for a person's overall health. This month was established in 1949 to increase awareness of the importance of mental health and wellness in Americans' lives, to celebrate recovery from mental illness and to help reduce the stigma so many experiences. The green ribbon used to represent mental health is the international symbol for mental health awareness. This month, wear a green ribbon to show colleagues, loved ones or simply those you walk past that you care about their mental health. It can also be worn in memory of a loved one.
