Mental Health Awareness Month 2026

May is Mental Health Awareness Month 2026 over in the states, with this year’s theme, “More Good Days, Together”, encouraging communities to support mental well-being.

Unpaid carers and family caregivers often face unique challenges, and organizations like Mental Health America, National Alliance for Caregiving, Family Caregiver Alliance, AARP, and the American Association of Caregiving Youth provide valuable resources and guidance.

This month is a reminder that small acts of support and self-care can make a big difference in creating more good days for everyone.
