May is Mental Health Awareness Month!
May is Mental Health Awareness Month—a time to focus on the importance of caring for our mental well-being, just as we do our physical health.
This year’s theme, “More Good Days Together,” encourages us to reflect on what a “good day” means. It doesn’t have to be perfect or highly productive—it might simply feel calm or manageable. What matters is that you define what “good” looks like for you.
Check in on your own mental health. Take a mental health test at mhascreening.org. It’s free, anonymous, and confidential. No matter how you’re feeling, remember: more good days are possible, support is available, and you are not alone.
Let’s continue to check in with ourselves and each other—and remember, it’s okay to ask for help.
Students who are 13+ are also invited to the Wellness Together Mind Out Loud Student Event on May 20, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. Click here for more information and to register.

More good days aren’t a solo effort. Check in with others, offer support, and stay connected—because even small moments of connection can ease stress and remind us we’re not alone. Together, more good days are possible.
Take care of yourself and others—mental health matters!
