Mental Health Awareness Month

May is Mental Health Awareness Month! Mental Health Awareness Month seeks to raise awareness about mental health and destigmatize mental health and treatment.

This week, we'll also explore what teletherapy looks like, its benefits, and how to prepare for a session.

The Idea of the Week

Why is Mental Health Important (a 5-minute read) and what is the Connection Between Mental Health and Physical Health (a 6-minute read)? These two articles share how mental health plays a role in our lives and physical well-being as well as the risk factors of mental distress and the benefits of good mental health. 

Since the pandemic, teletherapy has become a more common modality of therapy. But, what is teletherapy, and is it really as effective as in-person therapy? Learn more about teletherapy and how to prepare for a teletherapy session in our blog post (a 5-minute read)!

Practice of the Week

The National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) is a grassroots mental health organization that seeks to build better lives for people affected by mental illness. NAMI’s campaign for this year’s Mental Health Awareness Month is #MoreThanEnough (a 3-minute read).

“No matter what, you are inherently worthy of more than enough life, love, and healing. Showing up, just as you are, for yourself and the people around you is more than enough.”
NAMI
