May Holidays:
Mental Health Awareness Month
This May's diversity month theme raised awareness for individuals living with mental or behavioral issues and seeks to reduce the stigma that they experience. We suggest celebrating Mental Health Awareness Month by understanding how stress impacts your body, developing your support network, and reaching out to friends or family members that you believe may be struggling.
Older Americans Month
Established in 1963, Older Americans Month is led by the Administration for Community Living. It seeks to celebrate the accomplishments of the elderly as well as raise awareness concerning elder abuse and neglect.
Jewish American Heritage Month
Jewish American Heritage Month is part of May's diversity celebrations. This yearly observance recognizes American Jews and their importance to our nation. To celebrate this event, make a Jewish recipe, tour a museum, or pick up some Hebrew words!
Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month
Our May multicultural calendar salutes Asian Americans and the Pacific Islanders. They have long enriched America’s history and ensured its future success. To recognize this group, an entire month is dedicated to celebrating them. We suggest trying out a few of the following to truly appreciate their contributions. Make a positive impact and help stop Asian Hate with online sensitivity training.
