The Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health (LACDMH) is excited to announce the 2026 edition of the Take Action for Mental Health L.A. County campaign in May which is recognized as Mental Health Awareness Month. This year’s campaign features nine Department events, including a County-wide kick-off event at Magic Johnson Park from 1 to 4 p.m. on Sunday, May 3 and one event in each of LACDMH’s service areas.
This year’s campaign also features 84 local community-based organizations that will host 137 grant-funded, in-person and online events throughout May to encourage people to take action for mental health for themselves and for others.
Take Action community events are free and include wellness activities such as meditation, sound bath, art activities, community resources and much more. LACDMH is also partnering with high-profile social impact partners, including the Los Angeles Dodgers, Los Angeles Football Club (LAFC), the Los Angeles Lakers, Meruelo Media and Univision, to de-stigmatize mental health and encourage residents to seek help.
