Health's Like Heaven.

Commit today to take the pledge

Each year, millions of Americans face the reality of living with a mental illness. During May, many mental health organizations join the national movement to raise awareness about mental health. Each year, these organizations fight against stigma, provide support, educate the public and advocate for policies that support people with mental illness and their families.

When Mental Health America (MHA) started Mental Health Awareness Month in 1949, they did so to communicate the importance of mental health to overall health. Their insights about the factors that lead to mental health for all — including embracing diversity, equity and inclusion in all we do — have grown since then.

Together, we can realize our shared vision of a nation where anyone affected by mental illness can get the appropriate support and quality of care to live healthy, fulfilling lives — a nation where no one feels alone in their struggle.

In November 2020, the CDC reported that 44 percent of us were dealing with either depression or anxiety. While historically data shows us that 1 in 5 adults will experience a mental health problem — these days it certainly feels like it’s 5 in 5. Mental health is essential to everyone’s overall health and wellbeing, and mental illnesses are common and treatable.
