May is Mental Health Awareness Month—a time to shed light on an often invisible but deeply impactful aspect of our health. At Journey, we believe mental wellness is just as essential as physical health, and this month, we invite our community to reflect, learn, and engage in the conversation around mental health.
Why Mental Health Awareness Matters
Mental health disorders affect millions of people each year, across all ages, backgrounds, and communities. According to the World Health Organization, mental health conditions are the leading cause of disability worldwide. Yet stigma, misunderstanding, and a lack of access to care often prevent individuals from getting the support they need.
Mental Health Awareness Month serves as a powerful reminder that you are not alone, and that help is available
Recognizing the Signs
Mental health issues can show up in many ways: persistent sadness, changes in sleep or appetite, overwhelming anxiety, difficulty concentrating, or withdrawal from social activities. These signs are not weaknesses—they’re signals that your mind and body need care and attention.
What You Can Do
-
Talk about it. Normalizing mental health conversations reduces stigma.
-
Seek help early. Therapy, medication, or supportive counseling can make a profound difference.
-
Practice self-care. Sleep, movement, boundaries, and connection all support mental wellness.
