May Flowers!

April showers bring May flowers! Happy May!

Welcome to month 5 of 12. The weather is changing, the sun is starting to peak out, what more could we ask for this year?

This month is Mental Health Awareness Month.

The theme of Mental Health Awareness Month 2023 is “Look Around, Look Within,” according to Mental Health America. Mental health professionals' aim is to emphasize the ways that our surroundings — like safe and stable housing, healthy home lives, neighborhoods and cities, and nature — affect our mental health.

Navigating mental health during a global pandemic is no small task. Many people have grown tired of the “now more than ever” and “unprecedented times” tropes. But the reality is, they are true. And we know this is especially true for POC communities, people with intersecting identities, and underrepresented populations.

As a result, these groups are disproportionately impacted and particularly vulnerable during times of crisis. It is important that we always talk about (and prioritize) taking care of ourselves.
