The Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health (LACDMH) celebrated May is Mental Health Awareness Month with the Take Action for Mental Health L.A. County campaign. The annual celebration highlights the importance of mental health to all communities throughout Los Angeles County and is in partnership with the California Mental Health Services Authority (CalMHSA).
The Take Action movement promotes wellness and wellbeing while sharing the vast array of resources and services provided by the nation’s largest behavioral health department. The Take Action events bring communities together in wellness and encourages everyone to pay attention to their own needs and those around them.
This year’s edition featured eight events at local colleges with a final countywide event at Gloria Molina Grand Park. Events took place all around L.A. County — from Lancaster to Wilmington and Santa Monica to Whittier. Every event included free wellness activities such as yoga, meditation, art, music and community resources.
The 2025 campaign featured high-profile social impact partners, including the Los Angeles Dodgers, Los Angeles Lakers, Los Angeles Sparks, Los Angeles Football Club, Univision, and Meruelo Media. The month-long celebration also featured more than 100 free non-LACDMH celebrations throughout the county hosted by more than 65 community-based organizations.
