Mental Health Awareness Month

This year, The City of Newburyport is celebrating Mental Health Awareness Month with the "Take the Moment" campaign. The campaign, created by NAMI champions the importance of destigmatizing mental health by normalizing the practice of taking moments to prioritize mental health care without guilt or shame. We encourage you to join us in fostering open dialogues, cultivating empathy and understanding. We also urge you to share resources to support individuals and families on their journey towards mental wellness. Through "Take the Moment," we shine a spotlight on facts about mental health, local and national resources and the NAMI HelpLine, which is a free, nationwide peer-support service providing information, resource referrals and support to people living with a mental health condition, their family members and caregivers, mental health providers and the public.  Visit the City's website for a list of activities for the month as well as local resources.
