The Importance of Self-Care for Mental Health Professionals During Awareness Month

May marks a significant month on the calendar for mental health professionals and the broader community. It is designated as Mental Health Awareness Month, a time dedicated to breaking down the barriers of stigma surrounding mental health and fostering a culture of empathy and support. As we’ve explored complex topics like teen sexting, the impact of pornography on social media, and intimate partner violence, this month, we shift our focus inward to the people who help others navigate these challenges daily.
