Mental Health Awareness Month FAQs

When is Mental Health Awareness Month and what is the 2026 theme?

Mental Health Awareness Month runs every May in the United States — it was first observed in 1949 and is anchored by NAMI and Mental Health America. The 2026 theme is announced each February by Mental Health America; check their site for the official slogan and toolkit, then customize Piktochart’s MHAM templates to match.

What assets should an HR team prepare for May?

A typical workplace MHAM campaign includes a launch email banner, four weekly resource infographics (often: stress, sleep, connection, support), an EAP one-pager, a meeting-room poster series, and a closing recap. Piktochart’s MHAM templates cover all of those formats so HR can rebrand a single template family for the full month.

Are these templates free for nonprofits and schools?

Every template on Piktochart is free to customize on a free account. Nonprofits and educational institutions also qualify for discounted upgrades that unlock the full editor, including premium graphics and team collaboration — useful when multiple staff are co-editing campaign materials.

What’s the difference between Mental Health Awareness Month and Mental Health Day?

Mental Health Awareness Month is a four-week campaign in May (US-led, observed widely). World Mental Health Day is a single-day global event on October 10, organized by the World Federation for Mental Health. Many organizations run both — May for sustained education, October 10 for a single high-impact moment.

How do I make my MHAM materials accessible?

Use a minimum 12pt body font, keep contrast at WCAG AA (4.5:1 for body text), avoid red/green as the only differentiator on charts, and add alt text when sharing to social. Piktochart’s templates default to accessible colour pairs and offer a contrast checker before export.
