You’re Invited: A Historic Moment for Mental Health in St. John’s County

We are honored to share that St. John’s County has officially agreed to designate May 2026 as Mental Health Awareness Month. This is a meaningful milestone—and one we want to celebrate together.

We invite our supporters, partners, advocates, and community leaders to join us in person as this proclamation is formally recognized by the St. John’s County Board of Commissioners. Your presence matters, and your support helps show the strength and unity of our mental health community.

This moment represents progress, advocacy, and the collective voice of those who believe that mental illness is not a crime, and compassion is the answer. We would love to have you, and anyone in your agency or organization, stand with us to accept this honor.
