Created in 2021, Mental Health Action Day is supported by over 1,300 organizations, brands, government agencies, and cultural leaders. May is also Mental Health Month in the United States, and this day is intended to drive the conversation from mental health awareness to mental health action.
Mental Health Action Day comes at a critical time. The COVID-19 pandemic has disproportionately affected the mental health and well-being of people of color, young people, and LGBTQ+ communities. Studies have found:
Four in ten adults have reported symptoms of anxiety or depressive disorder, compared to one in ten before the pandemic.
Fifty-six percent of young adults ages 18-24 reported symptoms of anxiety or depression during the pandemic.
Forty-eight percent of Black people reported symptoms of anxiety or depressive disorder during the pandemic versus 42% of all Adults and 40.9% of white people.
Communities of color, who have experienced disparate impacts of COVID-19 and the ongoing trauma of systemic racism from police brutality to anti-Asian violence, are also facing more significant mental health challenges than ever before but continue to face challenges accessing mental health care.
The cross-sector collaboration calling attention to the great need for support and action to address mental health in the same way we treat physical health needs is groundbreaking. Today's actions are only the beginning, from media and tech companies to nonprofits, consumer brands, government agencies, and cultural leaders. Coalition partners will host a series of activations, from public events featuring experts and activists to employee engagement activities. They will empower people to take initial action to support their mental health needs, whether for themselves or others.
