As May approaches, we also welcome Mental Health Month, a time to raise awareness, deepen understanding, and take meaningful action to support the wellbeing of our students. In recognition of this important focus, the California Association of School Counselors is proud to highlight Student Mental Health Awareness Week, taking place May 11–15, 2026. We are committed to equipping you with the tools and resources needed to elevate and celebrate this week at every school site across California.
