href=\"https:\/\/mhanational.org\/mental-health-month\/\">Mental Health America<\/a> is challenging us to take action for ourselves and our community with its theme of &#8220;Turn Awareness into Action. &#8220;NAMI, or the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nami.org\/get-involved\/awareness-events\/mental-health-awareness-month\/\">National Alliance for Mental Illness<\/a>, has the theme of &#8216;In Every Story, There&#8217;s Strength.&#8221; The two themes tie together. When we share our stories, we help build up ourselves and everyone around us. We quickly find out that we are not alone in our struggles.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Veritext is honored to participate in Mental Health Awareness today and every day.
