See the “Mental Health Awareness Month” proclamation from Missoula’s Mayor Andrea Davis: Mental Health Awareness Month 2024

 ==================================================

MAY IS “MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS MONTH”!

Mental Health Awareness Month has been observed in the U.S. since 1949. Every year during the month of May, NAMI joins the national movement to raise awareness about mental health. Together, here in Missoula and around the country, we fight stigma, provide support, educate the public, and advocate for policies that improve the lives of the millions of people in the U.S. affected by mental illness.

This year, the Missoula Public Library partners with NAMI Missoula to shine a light on mental illness during Mental Health Awareness Month. On Wednesday, May 29, the library will host a NAMI-sponsored panel discussion, “Mental Health Matters: The Ripple Effect,” with community leaders sharing their perspectives on the widespread impact of mental illness in the community. The event begins at 6:15 PM and ends at 7:45 PM; it is free and open to the public. Please contact NAMI Missoula if you have questions about the event.
