Making It OK: Let’s Talk About Mental Health

by | May 1, 2025 | Awareness, Behavioral Health

May is Mental Health Awareness Month—a time when communities come together to remind everyone that discussing mental health is not only acceptable, it’s essential. At Primary Health Care, we believe that every conversation matters. When we share our feelings, struggles, and successes, we break down stigma and build a network of support.

🗣️ Creating Safe Spaces for Conversation

It’s not always easy to talk about your mental health. Many of us have learned to keep our feelings to ourselves, worried about being judged or misunderstood. But talking openly about mental health can lead to better understanding, better care, and stronger communities. By simply sharing our stories, we let others know they are not alone—and that help is available.

📣 A Movement to “Make It OK”

You may have heard of the “Make It OK” campaign, which encourages people to speak up about their mental health without fear. While this campaign has its own voice and mission, its core message resonates with us too: It’s okay to feel, it’s okay to seek help, and it’s okay to talk about mental health. Learn more about the campaign here.

💙 How PHC Supports Mental Health

Our therapists and counselors are here to help with concerns like depression, anxiety, trauma, and more. We know that access to care can be a barrier for many, so we work hard to offer affordable options—including support for patients with Medicaid, no insurance, or those using our sliding fee scale.

We also work closely with other departments, like our Homeless Support Services, to ensure patients get the wraparound care they need. No matter your background, identity, or life situation, our goal is to make sure you feel seen, heard, and supported.
