Mental Health Awareness Month
May is Mental Health Awareness Month
May is Mental Health Awareness Month. Did you know that 1 in 5 adults are dealing with some mental illness, and suicide is the 10th leading cause of death in the U.S. The majority of those who die by suicide suffer from a mental health condition.
Mental health impacts how we think, feel, and act, and plays a crucial role in our ability to cope with life's challenges. It affects everyone, regardless of age, gender, race, or social status. However, we can all improve our mental health and live fulfilling lives with the right tools and resources.
Here are some tips to help improve your mental health:
1. Practice Self-Care:
Take care of your physical, emotional, and mental health needs by getting enough sleep, eating well, exercising, and engaging in activities you enjoy.
2. Stay Connected:
Social connections are essential for mental health. Stay in touch with family and friends, join a support group, or seek professional help if needed.
3. Manage Stress:
Stress is inevitable, but it is important to manage it. Try mindfulness meditation, therapy, or yoga to help reduce stress.
4. Seek Help:
If you are struggling with your mental health, do not hesitate to reach out for support.
This Mental Health Awareness Month, let’s all commit to taking care of our mental health and supporting one another in our journey to better well-being. Remember, it is okay to not be okay, and seeking help is a sign of strength.

At MedNOW Clinics, we believe in honoring the history, cultures, and communities that shape the world around us. As we approach June 19th, we join millions across the country in recognizing Juneteenth, a powerful day of reflection, education, and celebration. Juneteenth, also known as Freedom Day , marks the date in 1865 when the last enslaved African Americans in Galveston, Texas, were informed of their freedom—over two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was signed. It is a day that honors the strength, resilience, and contributions of Black Americans throughout our nation’s history. This day serves as a reminder of the work that has been done—and the continued progress needed—to ensure equality and justice for all. At MedNOW, we are committed to fostering an inclusive, respectful environment for both our patients and staff, rooted in compassion, dignity, and equity. We encourage you to take time on this important day to reflect, learn, and connect with your community. Whether through attending a local celebration, supporting Black-owned businesses, or simply starting a conversation, we hope Juneteenth inspires meaningful engagement and growth. Thank you for being part of our MedNOW family. We’re proud to serve a diverse and vibrant community—and we stand with you in the pursuit of health, equality, and understanding for all. Warm regards,
