Mental Health Awareness Month
75 years ago Mental Health America (MHA) (then known as the National Association for Mental Health) created an observance of a concern that is innately human at some point in life; it has since become a presidential proclamation.
Over the years, there has been continued collaboration among organizations to raise awareness and educate the public about mental illnesses, the realities of living with these conditions; and strategies for attaining mental health and wellness. It is an ongoing challenge to reduce the stigma (negative attitudes and misconceptions) that surrounds mental illnesses.
The intended purpose for this observed topic is to increase awareness of the importance of mental health and wellness in all lives, to celebrate recovery from mental illness, and to promote continued wellbeing.

Mayo es el mes de concientización sobre la salud mental 2026
Hace 75 años, Mental Health America (MHA) (entonces conocida como Asociación Nacional para la Salud Mental) buscó dar luz a una preocupación que es puramente humana en algún momento de la vida; Desde entonces se ha convertido en una proclamación presidencial.
A lo largo de los años, ha habido una colaboración continua entre organizaciones para crear conciencia y educar al público sobre las enfermedades mentales, las realidades de vivir con estas condiciones y estrategias para lograr la salud y el bienestar mental. Es un reto continuo reducir el estigma (actitudes negativas y conceptos erróneos) que rodea a las enfermedades mentales.
El propósito de proponer este tema es aumentar la conciencia sobre la importancia de la salud y el bienestar mental en todas las vidas, celebrar la recuperación de una enfermedad mental y promover el bienestar continuo.
