Culturally affirming mental health care matters year-round 💙

While BIPOC Mental Health Month is recognized each July, the conversations it brings forward shouldn’t end when the month does.

Mental Health America’s 2026 BIPOC Mental Health Month toolkit offers resources to help continue meaningful conversations, encourage community connection, and support mental health throughout the year.
