Since 1949 Mental Health Awareness Month has been observed in May each year and is dedicated to prioritizing our well-being and promoting open conversations about mental health. The Bucks and Montgomery County Schools (BMCS) Health Care Consortium recognizes the importance of mental health and its impact on our personal and professional lives. That’s why our Benefit Basics emails in May will focus on helping our members to learn how modern life affects mental health provide resources to help manage stress, difficult emotions, and challenging situations.
