May is Mental Health Awareness Month!

In 2019, Healthcare Georgia Foundation recognized the importance of behavioral health and wellbeing as part of our five-year strategic plan. As such, the Foundation is continuing to understand the needs around mental health in the state of Georgia, and how we can best support those who carry out this important work every single day. That’s why, for Mental Health Awareness Month, we would like to share with you some of the easily accessible resources you can engage with throughout May, and every month.
