Mental Health Action Day

My Good Brain is a proud community partner of MTV Entertainment Group’s Mental Health Action Day. Our theme for this year’s event is focused on the healing power of music.

On May 16 and all month long, we invite you to take ONE hour for
your mental health & well-being

Mental Health Action Day: An Hour for Social Connection

This Mental Health Awareness month, we encourage you to start more conversations about mental wellness, share helpful resources on mental health care, and eliminate any stigmas or misinformation about mental health. Over 2,300 organizations are participating in Mental Health Action Day (MHAD) 2024, a global movement led by SHOWTIME/MTV Entertainment Studios and TaskForce.

Our Mental Health Action Day Goal

For Mental Health Action Day, our goal is to raise $2000 by the end of May. With your support and generosity, we are raising funds to help us 1) deliver more SF Bay Area in-person events, covering the costs of art materials, travel, advertising & marketing, and other event-related costs; and 2) provide more art therapy Tool Kits for our upcoming Fall 2024 school year.

View the donation thermometer on the right to see how much we have raised so far!
