May 2023
As we recognize Mental Health Awareness Month this May, we would be remiss not to acknowledge the mental and emotional impacts many of us are likely experiencing in response to recent traumatic and tragic events in our community, the lingering impacts of the pandemic, and the uncertainty and heightened stress that our community continues to face.
This May and always the Recovery Community is continuing to focus on raising awareness about the importance of mental health while reducing stigma and inspiring hope and positivity in our communities, particularly for ourselves, individuals and families living with mental health conditions.
Mental Health Awareness Month provides all of us with an opportunity and reminder to love and give time to ourselves, a reminder to reach out to loved ones and provide support to the individuals we serve, colleagues, friends and family who may be struggling in silence. By simply starting a conversation and providing words of encouragement, kindness and help, you can make all the difference for someone at work, at home or in the community.
Attached is the Recovery Community Calendar for the month of May. Please encourage your participants to come and engage with us.
