May is Mental Health Awareness Month

Join the Counseling Center, Disability Services, and Health Services as we come together to recognize Mental Health Awareness Month throughout May. Now more than ever, it’s essential to break the silence, reduce stigma, and create a supportive environment for conversations around mental health.

Mental health affects us all, directly or indirectly. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, one in five adults in the U.S. experiences a mental illness each year, yet only about half receive the help they need. This month, we're inviting the MCC community to engage, learn, and support one another.

Throughout May, we’ll be hosting a variety of events aimed at opening dialogue, sharing tools for mental wellness, and connecting students with valuable resources. We’re kicking things off with daily events during the first week of May. Please help us in making mental health a priority for all of our MCC students and community.
