Mental Health Awareness Month

May is Mental Health Awareness Month. You can take part in a number of ways:

  • Attend your local DBSA chapter meeting as an affirmation of your commitment to recovery. (Family and friends are welcome at our meetings, too.)
  • Drop off some mental health literature at local libraries, clinics, or doctors offices.
  • Take a confidential online mental health screening and/or encourage your loved one’s to do so.
  • Be a part of the DBSA Positive 6 (+6) Campaign and do something small that will make a big impact!
  • Visit the Facing Us Clubhouse at www.FacingUs.org to find inspiration and support for a life of health and well-being.
  • Use the DBSA Wellness Tracker to monitor, daily or weekly, the many things that influence your health—body and mind.
  • Submit us your Story of Life Unlimited.
  • Spread the word that May is mental health month on your Facebook page and “go lime” by adding a lime ribbon to your Facebook profile picture here.
  • Reach out to someone you feel might be struggling with their mental health to let them know they are not alone and help them connect with local resources.
