Mind Your Mental Health

Mind Your Mental Health is Magellan Healthcare’s educational initiative designed to raise awareness about mental health and mental illness.

Mental health

includes our emotional, psychological and social wellbeing. It affects how we think, feel and act. It also helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others and make choices.

Mental illness

is common and treatable. About one in five in the U.S. experience mental illness. Sadly, because of the stigma with mental illness, many people do not get the treatment they need.

April - Autism Acceptance Month

Evolving from Autism Awareness Month, this observance emphasizes increasing acceptance of individuals with autism, celebrating neurodiversity and embracing individual differences.

The term “autism” comes from the Greek word autos, meaning “self,” highlighting the unique ways individuals with autism experience the world.
The mission of Autism Acceptance Month is to foster understanding, kindness, and inclusion for those with autism, educating future generations on the importance of acceptance.
People with autism often face barriers across various sectors, including healthcare, education, employment, and beyond.
Early intervention is key—recognizing the signs of autism early can lead to improved outcomes through behavioral and occupational therapies that support brain development and quality of life.
