May is Mental Health Awareness Month 💚 Mental Health Awareness has had a huge push in recent years, but Mental Health Awareness Month has actually been observed in the United States since 1949!

The Mental Health America (MHA) theme for 2026 is "More Good Days, Together". This theme emphasizes creating more positive days through community support, meeting people where they are, and fostering personalized mental wellness.

Mental health matters for everyone, but it’s especially important to recognize the experiences of people with disabilities.

Disability and mental health are deeply connected. Awareness is a starting point, but action is what makes a difference.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month 💚

Mental health matters for everyone, but it’s especially important to recognize the experiences of people with disabilities.

From barriers to accessible care, to social stigma, to the daily effort of advocating for accommodations, these experiences are real and deserve attention.

Disability and mental health are deeply connected. Awareness is a starting point, but action is what makes a difference.
