Welcome to May 2025! Here’s hoping it is a fabulous month for all of my readers out there and that it brings much happiness to each and every one of you.

Today is the day I devote to Comments for a Cause here on It’s Just Life. It is the day when I share a new cause for the month and as we close out April and revisit our Comments for a Cause recipient – Connestee Fire Rescue. We are so happy to have them in our neighborhood and they have taken of us in big ways so it is easy to support them and their work. Please join Chris and I in thanking them for all of their hard work and protection over the years. We will be making a donation of $75 thank to your comments on the blog during April.

It’s always a good time to take a stand for mental health and since May is Mental Health Awareness Month it is a good month to highlight Mental Health America. This organization is the nation’s leading national nonprofit dedicated to the promotion of mental health, well-being, and condition prevention. With resources, mental health support and conferences, this organization is helping to move mental health to the forefront to help increase visibility to the challenges that face those who need mental health care as well as helping to reduce the stigma that so often accompanies those who need help with their mental health. We have made some strides in this area but so much work is still needed to be done.
Perhaps one of the best things that this organization does is to provide help and resources to those who need a little mental health care.
Mental Health America does the following:
We advocate to promote prevention, early intervention, and integrated care.
Helps understand mental health needs and behaviors across populations.
Provides year-round mental health resources for individuals and support for organizations.
Helps elevate youth voices and ensues culturally responsive peer support.
This month, please, consider your own mental health and the mental health of those you love. If you are in need of some resources and help check out their links at the end of this blog post and know that help is available. For each comment made on any blog post this month on It’s Just Life, Chris and I will make a 50 cent donation to Mental Health America to assist in their efforts to education and offer resources to those who need them. Thanks to each and every one of you who takes the time to read and comment. It means the world to me.
