As we enter the season of thankfulness, it’s worth remembering that gratitude isn’t just about good manners — it’s also good for your mental health.

The First Week of October is Mental Illness Awareness Week

Since 1990, Americans have marked the first full week of October as a time to raise understanding, reduce stigma, and remind one another that caring for our mental health is never something to fear.

Each September, the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) recognizes Suicide Prevention Month as a time to raise awareness, spread hope, and spark meaningful action around one of the most urgent mental health issues of our time.
