is ONE MONTH AWAY! 💚

Since founding Mental Health Month (also referred to as ) in 1949, Mental Health America has led the effort every May to promote mental wellness nationwide.

Today, we’re thrilled to announce the release of our 2026 Mental Health Month Action Guide, a roadmap for supporting more good days, both individually and together. We know that “good” means something different for everyone. That’s why this year, we’ve created a guide that meets you wherever you are, on the good and the not-so-good days.

This year’s guide features online activities, printable tools, and other resources to help you have more good days in Mental Health Month and beyond.

They’re proving that change starts now, and it starts with them. Want to be part of the change? Join us.
