May is Mental Health Awareness Month, also known as Mental Health Month. Its aim is to raise awareness and educate the public about mental illness and reduce the stigma that surrounds mental illnesses. 

More monthly observations: 

  • Older Americans Month was established in 1963 to honor the legacies and contributions of older Americans and support them as they enter their next stage of life. 
  • Jewish American Heritage Month recognizes the diverse contributions of the Jewish people to American culture.
  • Asian Pacific American Heritage Month in the United States commemorates the immigration of the first Japanese to the United States on May 7, 1843 and marks the anniversary of the completion of the transcontinental railroad on May 10, 1869. The majority of the workers who laid the tracks on the project were Chinese immigrants.
