It marks the adoption of the Declaration of Independence in 1776—a turning point that forever changed the course of history.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month—a time to break the silence, reduce the stigma, and recognize that mental well-being is just as important as physical health.  Whether it's anxiety, depression, burnout, or simply needing space to breathe, mental health impacts us all—directly or through the people we care about. That’s why awareness matters. Conversations matter. Small acts of solidarity matter.

Awareness ribbons have become a universal symbol of support, unity, and advocacy for various causes. Whether worn as a pin on a lapel, tied to a fence, or used in digital campaigns, these small but powerful symbols help raise awareness for health conditions, social issues, and humanitarian efforts.

Spreading awareness and raising funds during this month can help save lives and improve treatment outcomes for those affected by this disease.
