Mental Health Matters: Rethinking Wellness

Mental Health Matters: Rethinking Wellness

We’re hosting a special daily wellness challenge throughout the month of May! Join us for 31 days of reflection, connection, and simple habits that help you feel your best. All you have to do to join is follow us on social media.

The Mental Health Month Community Calendar is made possible through 100% SAMHSA funding in partnership with Mental Health Matters, ASAP Rethinking Wellness, and Foundation for Youth. Each listed event is independently funded by its hosting organization.

Look for Green Lights 💚

Throughout May, landmarks across Columbus will shine green in honor of Mental Health Awareness Month—a symbol of hope, support, and the shared commitment to making mental health a visible priority in our community.

Look for green lights at:
✨ Stewart Bridge (May 5 through the end of the month)
✨ CRH Tower (all month long)
✨ InterOculus (all month long)

Each glowing landmark is a reminder: you’re not alone, and it’s okay to talk about mental health.
