May is Mental Health Awareness Month, an observance that has been a crucial part of the mental health community since 1949, promoting understanding and advocacy for mental health issues and a powerful reminder of the importance of mental health in our lives. 

April is National Counseling Awareness Month, a time to recognize and honor the vital role that counselors play in promoting mental health and well-being. Established by the American Counseling Association (ACA) in 2002, this annual observance aims to raise awareness about the importance of counseling and to celebrate the profession.

Every May, the National Alliance on Mental Health (NAMI) raises awareness about mental health.
