Although Governor Hobbs declared May as Mental Health Awareness Month in Arizona, supporting mental health isn’t limited to one month—this work continues year-round. 💚

Supporting mental health is a 365-day commitment, and we’re all in, working year-round to connect Arizonans to care, reduce stigma, and support whole-person health.

While May shines a spotlight on the importance of mental health, our focus never fades. Help is always available, and no one has to navigate challenges alone: https://www.azahcccs.gov/BehavioralHealth/crisis.html

Navigating special education shouldn't mean hours of searching for answers you're not even sure you can trust. The Arc@School just launched a free AI Advisor to help you find expert-vetted answers to your special education questions.

Got questions about IEPs, accommodations, or disability rights in schools? This tool is for you (see link in comments).
