💚 May is Mental Health Awareness Month 💚

Awaken Mental Wellness invites you to celebrate all month long with a few suggestions:

❇️ Like/Heart/Share this post or other Mental Health Awareness Month posts. It may seem like you’re seeing a lot of posts like these, but that’s the point. Let’s show our support. You never know who might have needed a reminder that they are not alone.

❇️ Learn more about Mental Health in your communities. The landscape of mental health is diverse and changing rapidly. Spending time brushing up on how laws and policies impact all of us is one way to help.

❇️ Connect with others. We need each other. Sending a friendly message may go a long way for you and someone else. Share a smile. Commit to a gesture, big or small, that brightens the day.

❇️ Reach out. If you need help, or you know someone who does, tell someone. Whether it’s a trusted person, an anonymous helpline, or a clinical professional, giving voice to our common struggles is one of the most powerful acts of deconstructing mental health stigma.

❇️ Speak out! Mental Health is an area of need for advocates and activists! Call/write/visit your representatives, community leaders, and other probable stakeholders. There are several groups you can join if you’d rather amplify your voice with others.

About this milestone- When you start a business you have to place a marker and say this is the day the business “started.” When in reality, the business likely came along in stages; an idea, then research, building resources, making a plan, and so on. May 1st, 2023 marked the day it all felt like it was operating. Everything was in order and the path ahead was clear. Starting a business while working full-time was no small task, and as a result, it wasn’t until much later that the coincidence was realized: May Day, or International Workers’ Day, is the official recorded start date of this small business. It feels right. As a social worker, a West Virginian, a woman, a small bussiness owner, and a mental health professional, it is a proud and significant day.
