Engagement Strategy

Mental Health Awareness Month

Making mental health a priority can seem difficult, given that most of us are pulled in many directions each day. But caring for this essential part of our lives may be easier than we think—especially if we take it one step at a time. For this year’s Mental Health Awareness Month (MHAM), we’ve curated an array of approachable self-guided resources to support individuals in their mental health journey—even if they only have a few minutes to spare. 

Below, you’ll find an overview of our 2025 MHAM resources, along with customizable communication templates you can use internally to promote this programming.
