May is National Mental Health Month, and it couldn’t come at a better time. With work, family, and kid life moving full speed ahead, the stress and tensions of the day often add up quickly.  We easily get burnt out and often don’t know where to turn for help.  Below are national and Bozeman mental health resources available in the community. I hope these websites offer you some help, inspiration or motivation to put your mental health in the forefront of life.
