SUMMARY:National Arab American Heritage Month
DESCRIPTION:“Communities of Arab descent are a growing population in the U.S.\, and come from a diverse variety of backgrounds and belief systems. It is unknown exactly how many individuals within Arab American communities live with mental health conditions as they are vastly underrepresented in research. We continue to advocate for greater research and support of Arab communities.” \n-Mental Health America (National) \nMental Health America offers information that highlights the unique experiences of Arab individuals and resources to support mental health in Arab communities.

SUMMARY:Casting of the Mental Health Bell Anniversary
DESCRIPTION:During the early days of mental health treatment\, asylums often restrained people who had mental illnesses with iron chains and shackles around their ankles and wrists. With better understanding and treatments\, this cruel practice eventually stopped. In the early 1950s\, Mental Health America issued a call to asylums across the country for their discarded chains and shackles. On April 13\, 1953\, at the McShane Bell Foundry in Baltimore\, Md.\, Mental Health America melted down these inhumane bindings and recast them into a sign of hope: the Mental Health Bell “Bell of Hope”. Maryland Gov. Theodore McKeldin and Mrs. A. Felix DuPont in 1953 pour the metal made from melted chains used to restrain people with mental illnesses to create the Mental Health Bell. – Mental Health America  \n  \nYou can read more about the “Bell of Hope” at The Mental Health Bell | Mental Health America. We are so proud to be a part of this amazing organization!
