Updated: 7:32 PM EDT May 11, 2024
Since 1949, the month of May has been celebrated as Mental Health Month. On Saturday, the Greater Manchester Mental Health Center organized an event to offer their support. Employees, their families, and police and fire departments wore green T-shirts and organized themselves into a mental health ribbon to signify their support for local mental health. “The importance of Mental Health Awareness Month is to bring some kind of awareness to the fact that one in five Americans suffer from some form of mental illness. We know that number is much higher than that. We know it’s hard to talk about . about mental health, so a month where we can really celebrate all the issues and all the good things we’ve done to improve mental health treatment, we can also get people to start talking more about their own mental health because we all have things we need to talk about,” said Rick Cornell, vice president of community relations and development. According to Mental Health America, more than half of Americans suffering from mental illness do not receive treatment.
