May is Mental Health Awareness Month. 💚

The Baker Act is a Florida law designed to provide individuals experiencing a mental health crisis with emergency evaluation and care when they may be a danger to themselves or others. Its purpose is to help connect people with the support and treatment they may need during a critical time. (Florida DCF)

Mental health matters, and seeking help should never carry shame or stigma. Compassion, understanding, and awareness can make a difference in someone’s life.
