May is usually one of those transformative months of the year that I eagerly anticipate. As a country, we celebrate Cinco de Mayo, Mother’s Day, Teacher, Nurse, and EMS Appreciation Weeks. May is a time for graduations, dance recitals, school plays, athletic tournaments, and numerous celebrations. More and more, however, it feels like rather than celebrating, we are feeling worn down. We are exhausted by difficult news cycles that it can be impossible to escape – weather events, crime, politics, increased cost of living, economy, etc. We feel bombarded and overwhelmed with the increased demands for our time and attention. For these reasons and a host of other, it is so important for us to also remember that May is also Mental Health Awareness Month, a time for us to reflect on the importance of our own behavioral health.
