Nevada Psychiatric Association

During Mental Health Awareness Month, we recognize the psychiatrists and mental health professionals whose care, compassion, and dedication make a meaningful difference in the lives of individuals, families, and communities across Nevada.

Has a provider made an impact in your life or in your community? We invite you to share your appreciation by tagging or shouting out a mental health hero in the comments below.

It’s Mental Health Awareness Month.

This is a reminder to:
• Check in with yourself
• Reach out to someone you trust
• Seek professional support when needed

Mental health care is a vital part of overall health. No one should have to navigate it alone.
