July is Social Wellness Awareness Month.
"Connection is a key part of Wellness. Wellness is more than individual self-care—it also includes the connections we build with others. Social wellness involves developing supportive relationships, communicating effectively, and creating communities where people feel valued.
This week, challenge yourself to:
🌱 Reach out to someone you care about
🌱 Join a community activity
🌱 Practice active listening
🌱 Build meaningful connections

There is no timeline for grief.
This month, we remember parents who have experienced the unimaginable loss of a child. Social workers recognize that grief is deeply personal and healing looks different for everyone.

Today, let us extend kindness, patience, and compassion.
If someone shares their grief with you, listen more than you speak.

July recognizes BIPOC Mental Health Month. Mental health care should be culturally responsive and accessible for everyone.
Communities of Color often experience unique stressors, including discrimination, historical trauma, and unequal access to care.
Social workers play an important role in advocating for equitable mental health services

Honoring Bebe Moore Campbell 💚

Bebe Moore Campbell was a passionate advocate for mental health awareness, particularly within Black and underserved communities. Her work helped challenge stigma and encouraged open conversations about mental wellness.

"Stigma is a process by which the reaction of others spoils normal identity." — Bebe Moore Campbell

This Minority Mental Health Awareness Month, let's continue to promote understanding, compassion, and access to mental health care for everyone. Together, we can help end the stigma.

Mental health matters in every community. During National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month, we recognize that many racial and ethnic minority communities face barriers to accessing quality mental health care. Together, we can reduce stigma, increase awareness, and promote culturally responsive services.
