Mental Health Awareness Month 2024
Every year, May is recognized as Mental Health Awareness Month — a time for us to reflect on making Mental Health resources available and accessible.
This Mental Health Awarness Month, we’re celebrating by highlighting a shortlist of charities that are committed to supporting Mental Health wellness for everyone. Get involved today by spreading the word, donating, or creating your own charity stream and start fundraising! Make sure to watch our social channels as we highlight fundraisers from our community supporting these and other related causes.
💙 Hope For The Day
May is Mental Health Awareness Month! We understand that it is important to talk about our mental health all year long, but we celebrate this month for the excitement it brings. It encourages and pushes folks to learn more about mental health resources and the various ways to support themselves and the people around them. Not just this month, but EVERY month Hope for the Day works to empower the conversation on proactive suicide prevention and mental health education.
From May 1, 2024 until May 31, 2004, help support our 2024 proactive suicide prevention and mental health education programming by Streaming for Hope! When you Stream for Hope, you are helping to break the stigma surrounding mental health by starting the conversation in your community, a place we may not have otherwise been able to reach people.
💙To Write Love on Her Arms
This May we are rallying our communities for Mental Health Month to share the message that You Are Worth the Effort. Together, we can inspire change — for our communities, for our loved ones, and for ourselves. We’ve set a goal to raise $10,000 by May 31st. These funds are critical to helping TWLOHA bring a message of hope and a connection to mental health resources for 20,000,000 people this year. Every story, every conversation, every dollar matters when we’re fighting for people to stay alive and find healing.

💙Mental Health America
Founded in 1909 by Clifford W. Beers, Mental Health America (MHA) is the nation’s leading national nonprofit dedicated to the promotion of mental health, well-being, and illness prevention. During his stays in public and private institutions, Beers witnessed and was subjected to horrible abuse. From these experiences, Beers set into motion a reform movement that took shape and is known today as Mental Health America.
💙Mental Health UK
1 in 4 people in the UK has experienced a mental health problem. We won’t stop until everyone has the tools they need to live their best possible life. We bring together the experience of four charities from across the country who’ve been supporting people with their mental health for nearly 50 years.
With our local service delivery and national expertise in supporting people whose lives are affected by mental health problems, we have been able to mark a significant footprint in the areas that deeply challenge our mental health and stability.
💙Samaritans
1 in 5 of us have had suicidal thoughts.
This Mental Health Awareness Week, we’re shining the spotlight on stigma around suicide.
For someone who is having suicidal thoughts, this stigma can prevent them asking for help. They may be afraid of worrying others, making people feel uncomfortable or not feeling understood.
Stigma around suicide can also prevent others from offering support, for fear of saying or doing the wrong thing. But if someone feels suicidal, talking about it could be the first step in finding support.
Samaritans are there every minute of every day for anyone who needs to talk. Whether that’s about suicidal thoughts or other mental health and emotional wellbeing concerns, our 20,000+ highly-trained volunteers are non-judgmental, confidential, and totally free to speak to, whatever it is you’re going through.
