May is Mental Health Awareness Month

May is Mental Health Awareness Month. A time to raise awareness, break the stigma, and support one another in the journey toward healing and resilience. At WomanHaven, we recognize how deeply mental health is tied to safety, healing, and empowerment—especially for women and children impacted by domestic violence.

From May 12–16, we’ll be observing Mental Health Awareness Week by highlighting one simple, meaningful action each day that you can take to support your mental well-being:

• May 12 – Mindful Monday: Take 15 minutes of your time to practice mindfulness exercises.
• May 13 – Know About It Tuesday: Take some time to learn about mental health facts.
• May 14 – Relax Wednesday: Take some deep breathes and take some time for yourself.
• May 15 – Team Building Thursday: Practice a team building activity with your friends, co-workers and/or family members.
• May 16 – Wear Green Friday: Wear any green garment show your support and raise awareness for mental health.

These small steps can make a big difference. You are not alone and support is always within reach.
