California's economy has surged to #6 in the world! As of mid-2016, California was larger than France, India, and Italy, and followed only US, China, Japan, Germany, and UK.

So when it proclaims May as Mental Health Month, we can cheer that recognition and awareness will come to a state near us soon.

Join California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation in spreading awareness about the importance of mental health.

Each Mind Matters - California's Mental Health Movement Have you or someone you know been affected by mental health challenges?
