May Feature: “Becoming an Accepting and Supportive Person “
Many members of the LGBTQIA+ community face obstacles and may be hindered due to the biases of others, in life and in the workplace. Therefore, it’s important to take an opportunity to self-reflect on our own beliefs and actions, as well as how they affect those around us. As the Greek philosopher Socrates once said, “An unexamined life is not worth living.” Though we should always treat others with respect and kindness, we might fall short at times or not realize how exactly to show support. If you would like to work on being an accepting and supportive ally to the LGBTQIA+ community, here are some points to consider.

Mental Health Awareness Month
Mental Health Awareness Month is observed in May each year. It is a time dedicated to raising awareness about mental health issues, reducing stigma, and promoting understanding and support for those affected by mental health conditions. This observance aims to educate the public about mental health, advocate for policies that support mental health care, and encourage individuals to prioritize their mental wellbeing.
Importance of Mental Health Awareness Month:
- Reducing Stigma: By raising awareness, the observance helps to normalize conversations about mental health and reduce the stigma associated with mental illness.
- Education and Awareness: It provides an opportunity to educate the public about the signs and symptoms of mental health conditions, the importance of early intervention, and the availability of resources and support.
- Encouraging Support: This month encourages individuals to support friends, family, and colleagues who may be experiencing mental health challenges.
- Promoting Self-Care: It emphasizes the importance of self-care and encourages individuals to take proactive steps to maintain their mental wellbeing, such as practicing mindfulness, seeking therapy, or engaging in activities that promote mental health.
By promoting mental health awareness, we can create a society that cares about mental wellbeing and supports those who need it.
