In recognition of Mental Health Awareness Month this May, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan, in partnership with Blue Cross Complete, has created the Mental Health Awareness Toolkit and social media messaging, complete with lifesaving resources and detailed information, as a resource to address this public health crisis and connect individuals to trained mental health professionals.

Join us in raising awareness this Mental Health Awareness Month:

• Use messages, article links and images to post on social media each week.
• We encourage our collaborators to light their building green or wear green in May to support Mental Health Awareness Month.
• Tag Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan in your messages and photos to show your support and collaboration.

Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan is continuing its mission to improve whole-person health and wellness by focusing on mental health. Mental health is a pillar of overall well-being as stress, anxiety, depression, and other signs of concern can directly affect physical health outcomes. By addressing the stigma of mental illness, focusing on mental wellness, knowing the signs of mental illness and substance abuse, and preventing suicide, we all make a difference during Mental Health Awareness Month and throughout the year.
