National Mental Health Awareness MonthMay is an opportunity to raise awareness of psychological health concerns and conditions and promote increased access to care and treatment. The Military Health System and leaders across the Defense Department are emphasizing the importance of mental health and sharing mental health resources available to our military communities. Help Us Share the MessageAll of us need a little help sometimes to improve our mental health and stay mission ready. Often taking small steps to address problems early can make a big difference. This May, PHCoE will share tips and resources for service members, veterans, and families to get a little help for better mental health. Follow us all month on Facebook and Twitter!
