Welcome to the Southwest Regional Mental Health Board, Inc.


May is Mental Health Month!

For over 50 years, our country has celebrated "May is Mental Health Month" to raise awareness about mental illness and the importance of mental wellness for all.

In observance of May is Mental Health Month, the Southwest Regional Mental Health Board (SWRMHB) has worked with community providers to develop a calendar of events. During May, seventeen mental health organizations in lower Fairfield County will be offering over 20 special events and programs aimed at educating and informing the general public about these often baffling and misunderstood illnesses.
