May is Asian Heritage Month in Canada—a time to recognize and celebrate the rich tapestry of cultures, histories, and contributions of Asian communities across the nation.

Mental health isn’t just about a diagnosis—it’s about how we feel, connect, and function in our daily lives. This year’s Mental Health Week theme, “Unmasking Mental Health” reminds us of the strength in gentleness, especially when life feels overwhelming. Whether someone is facing anxiety, depression, grief, or just trying to get through a tough day, leaving space for those who may appear fine on the outside to process their issues and reach out if they choose is incredibly important.

April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM)—a time to stand in solidarity with survivors, raise awareness, and renew our commitment to preventing sexual violence in all its forms. At Moyo Health & Community Services, we recognize that women—especially those who are Black, Indigenous, racialized, 2SLGBTQ+, or living with disabilities—are disproportionately affected by sexual assault.
