April is Volunteer Appreciation Month, and we want to express a huge thank you to the incredible volunteers who give their time, energy, and heart to EveryMind. Your dedication strengthens our communities and ensures that individuals and families have access to the mental health support they need. We truly couldn’t do this work without you!
Looking for a way to get involved? We’d love to have you join us as a volunteer for EveryMile for EveryMind on May 18th! From setting up the course to cheering on participants, volunteers make this event possible—and fun! Sign up today and be part of something special.
This April, in honor of Month of the Military Child, we’re spotlighting EveryMind'sServingTogether program, which connects service members, veterans, and military families with essential resources. Military kids grow up navigating unique challenges—frequent moves, new schools, long separations from parents, and the ever-present uncertainty that comes with military life. They learn resilience early, adapt quickly, and deserve to be recognized for their strength and sacrifices.
On April 11th, Purple Up Day offers a simple but powerful way to show support. Wearing purple is a tribute to military children everywhere—a blend of all military branch colors, symbolizing unity and appreciation for their journey. A small gesture that carries a big message: their strength matters, and their sacrifices are seen.
Military life fosters adaptability, but it can also bring stress and uncertainty. That’s where ServingTogether comes in, helping military families find the support they need—fostering connections to local resources. This April, we’re proud to shine a light on ServingTogether’s work and the incredible military kids and families it supports.
Lace up and join us on Sunday, May 18th, for EveryMile for EveryMind—our 5K Run and 1K Walk dedicated to mental health awareness! Whether running, walking, volunteering, or cheering from the sidelines, this is more than just a race—it’s a chance to come together as a community and support mental wellness for all.
Want to make an even bigger impact or can't be there on race day? Start a fundraiser and rally friends and family to support EveryMind’s programs. Every dollar raised helps provide mental health resources, crisis support, and education to those who need it most.

In The Community
Last month, Rep. Jamie Raskin and Montgomery County Council President Kate Stewart hosted an important conversation about resources available for those impacted by recent federal layoffs. We at EveryMind were proud to join the discussion, sharing mental health resources and support options for those navigating these challenging times. Read more about this important conversation here.
We’re here to remind you: no matter what you’re facing, you don’t have to go through it alone. Let’s continue the conversation and support each other.
Thank you ABC7 for talking with Dipika, EveryMind’s Hotline Supervisor, about important resources available to our community.
