Mark Your Calendars for 2020 May Mental Health Awareness Month!
Colleagues and friends,
Each year, San Mateo County joins our state and country in celebrating Mental Health Awareness Month (MHAM) in May. MHAM is one of the best times of the year where we can promote wellness and reduce stigma against those facing mental health and substance use issues.
Starting today, San Mateo County is joining Each Mind Matters, California’s Statewide Mental Health Movement, in promoting the theme #ExpressYourself. As we celebrate 2020 MHAM, we are focusing on how expressing ourselves in different ways can raise awareness about mental health, break down barriers between people, build our own wellness and strengthen our communities. Due to COVID-19, all of our events will be taking place virtually this year. Look forward to virtual open mics, paint and dance classes, mental health panels, and more! All events will be FREE and available to the public.
Stay tuned every week in May for weekly emails:
● Week 1: Express Your Support
● Week 2: Express Your Well-being
● Week 3: Express Encouragement
● Week 4: Express Unity
Please share with your clients, friends, family and community the attached flyer or this website bit.ly/2020mham where you can get more updates and details.
We appreciate any level of support you can give to promote MHAM!
In community,
BHRS Office of Diversity and Equity (ODE) and 2020 MHAM Planning Committee
