Mental Health Month 2010: Live Your Life Well


Since 1949, May has been designated as Mental Health Month. This year's theme is Live Your Life Well, which "challenges us to promote health and wellness in homes, communities, schools, and inform those who don't believe it's attainable."

Mental Health America's Live Your Life Well public education campaign was created to help people enhance their well-being, and encourage people to take care of their mental health in times of stress and personal challenge.
