Celebrate Mental Health Awareness Month
We want to open the channels of communication on mental health, provide resources and share messages that will help break down the walls of stigma. You are invited to participate in Mental Health Awareness Month by sharing a photo about one or more focus topics. The photos will be shared on our Mental Health Awareness Month webpage and on social media!
We invite Anne Arundel County students in grades 6 – 12 to create a short video (no more than 30 seconds) describing what the phrase "Healthy Minds, Healthy Lives" means to you. There will be gift card prizes for the winners and the videos will be shared on our Mental Health Awareness Month webpage and on social media!
