June is PRIDE Month
Learn More: https://conta.cc/4ug7jVq
LGBTQ+ rights are human rights. We see you, we support you, and we are inspired by your courage to accept nothing less than full equality.

Pride Month takes place each June and is a recognition of the identity, dignity, equality, acceptance and visibility of the LGBTQ+ community.

The LGBTQ+ community, especially younger members, interpersonally and systemically, faces societal stigma, discrimination, harassment, family rejection, and denial of their civil and human rights. Inequity harms mental health and LGBTQ+ individuals experience mental health struggles at higher rates than others - especially depression and anxiety disorders.

Families, friends, and allies play a critical role and can take actions to be supportive:
- Respect Their Identity
- Listen and Be Compassionate
- Create and Teach Awareness
- Learn About the Early Signs of Mental Illness
- Support Them in Accessing Mental Health Resources

The Center's programs support clients irrespective of race, color, ethnicity, religion, gender identity or gender expression, and we are proud to be among those celebrating and furthering the conversation around equity, inclusion, and belonging for all.

May is Mental Health Month
Learn More: https://conta.cc/4u8r3Ls
1 in 5 U.S. adults experience a mental health condition each year, and less than half of them receive treatment.

We know that around half of all people in the U.S. will meet the criteria for a diagnosable mental health condition at some point in their lives. We also know that communities who are targeted by racism, homophobia, transphobia, sexism, and other forms of systemic oppression and violence can face an even heavier mental health burden because of these harms.

ACEs stands for Adverse Childhood Experiences. These involve aspects of a child's/adult's environment that can undermine their sense of safety, stability, and bonding, such as living in a household with substance misuse, abuse, neglect, violence, or mental health concerns, and additional unaddressed trauma. Approximately 61% of adults have at least one ACE in their history. Preventing ACEs can reduce the number of adults with depression by as much as 44%. The Center provides services to help overcome ACEs and Toxic Stress and prevent them in the future.

At our 55th Anniversary Gala, we honored Actor, Writer, Blogger and Mental Health Advocate Wil Wheaton, whose courage to use his voice to fight stigma has helped others struggling with mental health issues and trauma get the help and support they need. Wil lent his voice to support our mission to provide accessible mental health care to children, adults, and families in the San Fernando Valley.

Select the video on the Learn More link to hear Wil speak openly and honestly about his mental health struggles, challenges, and successes. "I get to be the person I need in the world, and I get to pay forward the kindness and support so many people gave me while I was in the early years of recovery and scared to death that I would suffer night terrors, panic attacks, and uncontrollable anxiety for the rest of my life."

May is Jewish American Heritage Month
Learn More: https://conta.cc/431bMQB
Established in 2006, Jewish American Heritage Month (JAHM) commemorates more than 350 years of Jewish history in America. It is an opportunity to celebrate the many ways Jews have positively impacted all facets of American society.

Jewish Americans have been at the forefront of many of this nation's seminal moments — fighting for the Union in the Civil War, marching and advocating early and often for civil rights, and suffrage for women. Likewise, Jewish Americans have served in government and the military, won Nobel prizes, headed universities and corporations, advanced medicine, created and performed in enduring works of performing and visual art, written great American novels, and become emblems of justice as members of the Supreme Court.

As we celebrate these accomplishments, we must also recognize the bigotry and violence that Jews have faced throughout history, and that shamefully persist to this day. Hate crimes, including those derived from antisemitism, can have devastating physical, psychological and societal consequences.

Throughout our history, generations of Jewish immigrants fleeing persecution have sought the promise of freedom and opportunity to start life anew in America. This month, we recognize the enduring faith, perseverance, and resilience of the Jewish people and pay tribute to the many ways that Jewish Americans enrich our society.

May is Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AA and NHPI) Heritage Month
Learn More: https://conta.cc/4dtYcLv
Individuals of Asian, Hawaiian, and Pacific Island heritage have contributed to the nation's cultural richness and helped forge its economic and intellectual vigor. In Los Angeles alone, the AA and NHPI communities constitute about 16% of the population, with over six million Californians of AA and NHPI descent.

Despite the countless contributions of the AA and NHPI communities to this nation, there has been ongoing racism, harassment, and hate crimes. Confronting past and present racism and advocating for the safety and inclusion of our AA and NHPI friends and neighbors is crucial.

Traumatic events and generational trauma profoundly affect mental health, yet significant stigma remains around seeking help. The concurrence of Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (AA and NHPI) Heritage Month with Mental Health Awareness Month is more relevant than ever.
