Every September, communities across the country recognize Suicide Prevention Awareness Month. It is a time to share resources, reduce stigma, and remind each other that help is always available. Suicide impacts people of all ages, backgrounds, and life experiences. It is one of the leading causes of death in the United States, yet it is also preventable when people have access to timely, compassionate support.

At Alleviant Integrated Mental Health, we believe in the power of early intervention. We know that starting conversations about mental health and providing support early can save lives.

Each June, we observe Alzheimer’s & Brain Awareness Month—a national initiative that brings attention to the realities of cognitive decline and calls for proactive brain health across the lifespan. At Alleviant, we understand that memory issues are often the tip of the iceberg. True brain health goes far deeper.

This month, we invite you to explore what cognitive decline really looks like, why it’s more than “just getting older,” and how a compassionate, integrative approach can make all the difference.

Every June, we recognize Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Awareness Month, a time dedicated to raising understanding about a condition that affects millions of people across the globe. At Alleviant Health, our mission is to bring compassion, clarity, and comprehensive care to those navigating the challenges of PTSD. This month, we honor the strength of survivors and emphasize the importance of accessible, integrative mental health care.

Not every mental health battle looks the same. Some people cry, some go quiet. Some isolate, while others keep smiling through the pain. You may not even realize you’re struggling — until the weight of “holding it all together” becomes too much to bear.

During Mental Health Awareness Month, we want to shine a light on the people who don’t fit the typical image of depression or anxiety — those who appear “fine” on the outside, but inside are running on empty.

Maybe that’s someone you love. Maybe it’s you.
