Mental Health Month
As we conclude Mental Health Awareness Month 2026, it is important to remember to prioritize self-care and recognize that our mental wellbeing matters. According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), Mental Health Awareness Month has been observed since 1949. Here at the Vashti Center for Children and Families and through the Resilient Communities of Southwest Georgia Coalition, we continue striving each year to reduce the stigma surrounding mental health.
