Mayor Zacher Makes Proclamation for Mental Health Awareness Month

Mayor Matt Zacher has made a proclamation for Mental Health Awareness Month. 
Mental Health Awareness Month is observed every May to raise awareness about the importance of mental health and well-being. It’s a time to:

• Educate the public about mental health conditions like depression, anxiety, PTSD, and more.
  
• Promote resources and support systems available for those who need help.
  
• Encourage open conversations to reduce stigma and discrimination.
  
• Advocate for mental health policies and accessible care.
  

First established in the United States in 1949 by Mental Health America, this month highlights how mental health is just as important as physical health — and that everyone deserves support, empathy, and access to care.
