May is Mental Health Awareness Month

* It's okay not to be okay, but it is important to recognize the signs and symptoms of mental illness in ourselves and others to get the help we need.

* Some people suffer in silence, so remember to be kind and check up on your friends and family.

* If you or someone you know is experiencing a crisis, call 988 for crisis support.
