This month is Mental Health Awareness Month (MHAM). We are collating some of our favorite resources every week, beginning with a focus on understanding, because most people don’t recognize mental illness until it disrupts daily life, relationships, or work.
We want to share practical, real-world insights that connect the dots between what people experience and what those experiences actually mean, from the impact of work stress and the subtle signs a loved one may need help to the myths, stigma, and often-overlooked symptoms that keep people from seeking care.
As you move through these resources, the goal is simple: replace assumptions with clarity, recognize early signals, and build a more informed, human understanding of mental health and recovery.
