Across our community, people are carrying more than we can see.

Stress. Isolation. Conflict. Disconnection.

At the same time, we are surrounded by organizations, institutions, and leaders already doing extraordinary work to strengthen resilience, connection, and peace.

Mental Health May brings those efforts into the light.

It is not a single event.
It is not a single organization’s program.

It is a community-wide, month-long movement—uniting schools, faith communities, civic groups, businesses, nonprofits, and professional organizations under one shared banner:

Mental Health and Peace.

We invite you—and the institutions you lead—to stand visibly in that work.

What Is Mental Health May?

Mental Health May is a coordinated, community-facing initiative that:

• Invites organizations to host public events during the month of May

• Aligns those events under the theme of Mental Health and Peace

• Compiles them into a centralized, filterable public calendar

• Promotes the collective impact of our entire community

Each participating organization presents and manages its own event.
Mental Health May provides the unifying platform and shared visibility.

Why This Matters Now

Communities thrive when:

• People feel connected

• Conflict is addressed constructively

• Stress is acknowledged and managed

• Creativity and service are encouraged

• Growth is supported at every age

How Organizations Participate

Any civic group, school, church, business, nonprofit, or professional organization may participate by offering at least one public event during the month of May.

Events:

• May be free or ticketed.

•  They may have age guidelines.

•  They must be open to the public.

Participating organizations:

• Design and host their own event

• Manage their own logistics and registration

• Submit event details for inclusion in the official Mental Health May calendar

This structure allows the public to search for what they need most—and see the full scope of what our community offers.

Mental Health May is built on a simple idea:  No single institution can carry this work alone.  But together, we can create momentum.
