Mental Health Matters

Join us in honoring Mental Health Awareness Month

Nearly 80 years ago, Mental Health America founded Mental Health Awareness Month. Since then, communities across the country have come together every May to raise awareness, reduce stigma and connect people with resources.

Here in northern Arizona, something special is happening in 2026. In recognition of Mental Health Awareness Month, Northern Arizona Healthcare (NAH) is partnering with local organizations and businesses to host a series of Mental Health Matters events, leading up to a special fundraiser in support of our local first responders and their mental health.

Do you or someone you know need immediate help? Call or text 988 for free, confidential support. The 988 Lifeline offers judgement-free help from people who care and know how to listen. Support is always just one call or text away.

Get involved

Organized by NAH’s Office of Philanthropy, our events begin in April and continue through May. Check back often for a full list of dates and times.

You can also show your support by purchasing one of our Mental Health Matters t-shirts, created in collaboration with State Forty Eight.
