Background and Discussion:
Founded by Mental Health America (MHA) in 1949, the month-long observance encourages open conversation about mental illness, promotes access to treatment and support services, and works to dismantle the stigma that still prevents millions of people from seeking help. It was established to educate the public about conditions such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia.
