Growing Together: A Campaign for Mental Health Awareness
This May, Promise Community Health Center and Sioux Center Health are teaming up once again to shine a light on something we all need but don’t always talk about enough: salud mental. Together, we’re launching the Growing Together campaign—a month-long initiative for Mental Health Awareness Month focused on planting seeds of hope, healing, and connection in our communities.
Just like in a garden, the most powerful growth often happens where we can’t see it—beneath the surface. That’s the heart of Growing Together. Mental wellness doesn’t always look like big, visible changes. Sometimes, it starts with small, quiet steps: a kind word, a supportive conversation, a moment of stillness, or reaching out for help.
Throughout May, we’ll be sharing reminders and resources on social media to encourage you to nurture your well-being and support those around you. You’ll see inspiring new videos and messages meant to remind us all that mental health is something we grow together—with patience, compassion, and care.
Here’s a truth we’re embracing this month:
Myth: Therapy is only for people with serious problems.
Truth: Therapy is for anyone who wants to grow their mental well-being.
Growth isn’t about avoiding life’s tough seasons—it’s about learning through them. Whether it’s journaling, opening up to a therapist, practicing self-care, or simply showing up for yourself each day, these are all powerful tools for mental wellness.
Let’s also work together to break the stigma around mental health. Everyone—every age, every stage—needs support and sunshine to grow. Even when life feels still or stuck, remember: growth is happening. Be gentle with yourself. You are important. You are worthy.
Thank you for being part of the Growing Together campaign. Keep showing up, keep blooming, and keep growing—one small step at a time.
