May Is Mental Health Awareness Month

5/1/2025

 
PictureCarrie Carlton
(Press Release) West Palm Beach, FL (May 1, 2025) – Experts at West Palm Beach-based Beachway Therapy Center are sharing tips during Mental Health Awareness Month to educate the public on the importance of recognizing the impact of mental health on an individual and how to take action to ensure our personal well-being. 

“Acknowledging that mental health is real and giving yourself permission to take care of yourself is the key to reducing stress and burnout,” says Carrie Carlton, MSW, LPC, LCSW, QS, CCTP and Beachway Therapy Center’s Vice President of Clinical Services. "When you're feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or struggling with sleep and motivation, it's a sign to pause and refocus on your mental well-being. Everything starts with how we care for ourselves — and it’s something we need to honor every single day." said Carlton. 

Mental Health Awareness Month offers an opportunity to collectively make a concerted effort to reduce stigma, educate the public, and support those living with mental health challenges. It’s critical to emphasize that mental health is just as important as physical health and to promote early intervention, open conversations, and accessible care.
