The National Mental Health Association (now Mental Health America) first proclaimed May to be Mental Health Awareness Month in 1949, to bring mental health out of the shadows and into the everyday language of health. 76 years later the increase in public awareness is substantial, yet in many ways our collective mental health is in decline.
