Take action for Mental Health Awareness Month

Throughout Mental Health Awareness Month, we provided education on caring for your own mental health and shared resources on talking about mental health in positive, non-stigmatizing ways. As the month ends, we want to extend an invitation to action. This could be assessing your own mental health and seeking the necessary support, having a conversation with someone you care about who is struggling, advocating for person-centered language training in the workplace, or supporting community organizations like NAMI or Washington Recovery Alliance. Destigmatizing mental health is important and everyone can do something to make our communities a safer place for all.  (Brittany Weiner)
