May brings longer days, warmer air, and a sense of movement returning around us and within us. This month is Mental Health Awareness Month, a time to center understanding, reduce stigma, and make space for the fullness of people’s experiences.
At Pier 360, this lives through connection, storytelling, presence, and showing up alongside one another. You can explore reflections from our community in our Mental Health Awareness Month article and throughout May in our social channels (Instagram and Facebook), where peers share what they wish others could see beyond their mental health and recovery journeys.
Below is a listing of this month's activities and outings, whether out in the community or at our West Center.
