Mental Health is for Everyone; Make It a Priority.
This year Mental Health was the 2nd most impactful indicator on our county’s overall well-being score. Results also showed that mental health is strongly related to multiple areas of wellbeing; our satisfaction with purpose and meaning, community belonging, relationship satisfaction, neighborhood quality, opportunities for learning and growth, job satisfaction and financial security.
Look for a variety of local resources to support Mental and Emotional Health at www.livewelllocal.org

Visit our webpage to learn more about the annual PIHC Health and Wellbeing Monitor or how smaller community groups like churches, neighborhoods, or regions within the county can conduct their own survey—a My Community Health and Well Being Monitor.
May – Mental Heath Awareness Month
Wear green in support of Mental Health awareness month this May. Green is more than just a color—it’s the international symbol for mental health awareness. Representing fresh starts, optimism, and energy, wearing green (or even adding a touch of it to your space) makes a bright and bold statement: I care about mental health! Connect with local resources supporting your mental health such as yoga, mindfulness meditation, and art therapy.

May – Stroke Awareness Month
Strokes can happen to anyone, at any age. Having a stroke puts you at higher risk for a second one. This stroke month let’s come together to defeat stroke by acting F.A.S.T. The thing to remember is that stroke is largely treatable. It’s a matter of getting the right treatment, right away. Save a life by having a better understanding of stroke and by knowing what signs and symptoms to look for – Face. Arms. Speech. Time to call 9-1-1.

June – Juneteenth and Pride
Juneteenth celebrates and acknowledges the resilience and achievement for African Americans. On June 19, 1865, Union troops arrived in Galveston, Texas with the news that more than 250,000 enslaved Black people in the state were free. The day became known as Juneteenth or Freedom Day. Check out our community partners free events geared towards Juneteenth celebration – spanning the entire month of June and embrace the rich history of Freedom Day.
June is Pride Month in the United States, a time to remember history, celebrate how far we’ve come in advancing the rights of LGBTQ+ people, but also to reinvigorate our efforts to continue the fight for equality and against discrimination and hatred.
