Diana Anzaldua says, “Women’s Mental Health Month is important as women tend to have higher rates of depression and trauma. Having a focus on women’s mental health can empower women and improve confidence, while also creating healing for future generations!”
AUSTIN, Texas (PRWEB)
February 28, 2022
March is Women’s History Month and is a dedicated month to reflect on the often-overlooked contributions of women to US History. Local business & non-profit owner and social change activist, Diana Anzaldua, worked with the City of Austin to declare March as the official Women’s Mental Health Awareness Month to help destigmatize mental health care in the US, and ideally, worldwide, too!
1 in 5 women experience a mental health disorder (compared to 1 in 8 men). Women have higher rates of PTSD, depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation. Contigo Wellness is striving to change this for women in Austin, throughout Texas, and ideally, nationwide.
