Join us in the Let’s Face It movement, where every story shared, every conversation started, and every face embraced adds to the collective effort of breaking down the barriers surrounding mental health.
Launched in 2022, Let’s Face It takes place every May in celebration of Mental Health Awareness Month. Throughout the month, we host and participate in events, share daily wellness content and vital resources, and spotlight Connecticut residents with lived experiences, amplifying their voices and journeys to inspire hope and understanding.
Why focus on stigma? Because it’s pervasive, taking on various forms, and we firmly believe that its power diminishes when faced head-on. By sharing these compelling stories and daily wellness content, our aim is to spark more conversations and awareness. Through Let’s Face It, we hope to help create a safer and kinder Connecticut.
Engage your network during Mental Health Awareness Month through a fundraiser for Mental Health Connecticut! Whether it is digital or in-person, throughout your fundraiser, you can share resources and information about Mental Health Awareness Month.
Raise $250 or more and receive a free Mental Health Awareness Month fundraising kit, including a Let’s Face It tee shirt, mental health stickers, and green ribbon pins.

Help celebrate Mental Health Awareness Month across the state of Connecticut by requesting a lawn sign for your residence or organization. Let your friends and neighbors know that mental health is a priority for you and should be a priority in our state.
If you submit a request, you will be contacted in April with instructions on picking up your lawn sign. The offer is available while supplies last.
Every May, Mental Health Connecticut (MHC) participates in Light It Up Green to raise awareness and support for Mental Health Awareness Month. Light It Up Green and Mental Health Month were started by our national organization Mental Health America, and Mental Health Month is recognized by a presidential proclamation. The purpose is to raise awareness, educate the public about mental health conditions and mental wellness, and reduce stigma. Awareness benefits us all, and the more organizations that recognize the month and elevate mental wellness as a priority, the stronger our community will be. Show your support by Lighting Up Green!
Should you choose to participate by changing your lightbulbs to green light bulbs, putting up green string lights, or adding a green spotlight outside of your building, you will be recognized by Mental Health Connecticut via our social media and newsletter during May.
Each year for Let’s Face It, we share stories of CT residents overcoming and addressing challenges as well as provide essential mental health tips and resources.
