May is Mental Health Awareness Month

Mental health is one of your greatest assets. It helps you overcome obstacles, realize your potential, get along with the people around you, and focus at work. This May, which is Mental Health Month, challenge yourself to look at your world and how different factors can affect your mental health. While parts of your environment may be out of your control, there are steps you can take to change your space and protect your well-being.

A great starting point for prioritizing mental health is the Johns Hopkins Employee Assistance Program, or JHEAP, which can be reached confidentially 24/7 at 888-978-1262.

JHEAP is hosting webinars throughout Mental Health Awareness Month to focus on how the world around us affects our mental health and steps we can take to change our space, have an impact on our community, and protect our well-being. Register for the upcoming sessions of your choice and view the recordings of sessions you've missed.
