Mental Health Awareness Month
About the Campaign
Mental Health Awareness Month has been observed in the U.S. since 1949. Every year during the month of May, organizations such as AIM, join the national movement to raise awareness about mental health. The goal is to fight stigma, provide support, educate the public, advocate for policies and raise critically needed funding to support the millions of people in the U.S. affected by mental illness. This year, the AIM Center is gearing up for a month-long campaign with the goal of raising at least $25,000 to support our Chattanooga community!
