Did you know that May is Mental Health Awareness Month? Mental Health Awareness month was established in 1949 by the Mental Health America organization. This May, Parallel along with other organizations and companies across the nation, join together to bring awareness, support, and resources to the larger community surrounding mental health.
This year's theme is "Back to Basics". According to MHAnational.org:
"After the last two years of pandemic living, many people are realizing that stress, isolation, and uncertainty have taken a toll on their well-being. Our goal is to provide foundational knowledge about mental health & mental health conditions and information about what people can do if their mental health is a cause for concern."
