Celebrate Mental Health Awareness Month
We want to open the channels of communication on mental health, provide resources and share messages that will help break down the walls of stigma. You are invited to participate in Mental Health Awareness Month by sharing a photo about one or more focus topics. The photos will be shared on our Mental Health Awareness Month webpage and on social media!
The Healthy Anne Arundel Coalition would like to thank the students who submitted videos for our Mental Health Awareness "Healthy Minds, Healthy Lives" contest! Congratulations to the winner, Kwaku Adusah, 6th grader at MacArthur Middle School!
