Hi Neighbor!
May is Mental Health Awareness Month.
Mental Health Awareness Month has been observed in the United States since 1949. It was started by the Mental Health America organization to increase awareness of the importance of mental health as being a critical part of overall wellness. Every May, The National Alliance on Mental Illness(NAMI) joins this national movement in order to raise awareness about mental health and fight the stigma associated with mental illness.
Locally, NAMI Main Line PA, an affiliate of NAMI, provides information, education, and support to people with mental illness, their families and friends…with recovery as the goal, all free-of-charge.
This month, NAMI will be celebrating Mental Health Awareness Month with its More Than Enough Campaign! The theme provides an opportunity for us all to come together and support those dealing with the challenges of a mental health diagnosis by encouraging them to understand that who they are and what they do every day is enough, and that they deserve to live a happy and healthy life.
Those words, More Than Enough, resonated so strongly with me that I wanted to share them with you in case you or someone you love is feeling that they are not enough.

Sweet best friends Ant & Gigi
This beautiful pair, Ant & Gigi, are bonded besties and extremely affectionate. These staff favorites were found in a grocery store parking lot. They have been happily receiving daily snuggles and pets from the loving staff at Providence Animal Center in Media. They would thrive in a low-traffic environment with kids middle school-age and up. Unlimited toe-bean massages and ear scratches would be ideal, but they understand they must share the love between themselves.
Amazing cats like these two are available to adopt at shelters every day. If you'd like to give Ant & Gigi the fur-ever home they deserve, stop by Providence Animal Center to meet them. Their adoption package includes spay/neuter, microchip, vaccines and more. Visit the website for information about the quick adoption process and operating hours.
