We believe that mental health is health.
May is Mental Health Awareness Month. Across the country, Mental Health America is asking buildings, landmarks, and communities to light up green to during Mental Health Awareness Week—May 13th-19th. This year, the Mental Health Association of Maryland and the Maryland Department of Health’s Office of Suicide Prevention are working together to grow this movement here in Maryland.
