Each May, we recognize Mental Health Awareness Month to help connect and support one another. This year’s national theme from Mental Health America—“More Good Days, Together”—reminds us that mental health isn’t about perfection. It’s about finding small, meaningful moments of stability, connection, and support in our daily lives.

A “good day” can look different for everyone. It doesn’t have to mean feeling happy or productive—it might simply mean feeling calm, manageable, or getting through a difficult day.

April marks Alcohol Awareness Month, a time to educate ourselves and our communities about the risks of alcohol misuse and its widespread impact on health and well-being. It is important for people to fully understand the risks of alcohol so that they can make informed decisions about alcohol consumption.

In fact, excessive alcohol use is the third leading cause of preventable death among Oregonians, according to the Oregon Health Authority (OHA). Nationwide, alcohol is associated with over 178,000 deaths each year and is linked to more than 200 diseases and injury-related conditions.
