May is Mental Health Awareness Month!

This year, we will be doing our annual Mental Health Monologues as an online campaign.

You can send your stories in videos, photos, art, poetry, etc. We will repost them throughout the month, and you can remain anonymous if you feel more comfortable. We will be posting on Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok.

You can also post your stories on your own accounts with the hashtag .

We can't wait to hear and see your stories to help smash the stigma!
