For those who were not aware, May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and for those who follow our page, we have posted reminders to bring attention to Mental Health. May might be coming to end in a couple of days, but that doesn’t mean bringing awareness has to end. Mental Health affects all of us in one way or another, whether it be our own struggles or the struggles of someone we are close to or just know. The struggles are in our homes, at our jobs, in our schools and in some other place in our everyday lives. May might be coming to end, but that doesn’t mean our support has to end, our understanding, compassion and willingness to help should be present all 12 months of the year. For those that are struggling, remember, it’s ok to not be ok. You are not alone and there are people who will listen.

Language matters. Choosing supportive words can help people feel seen, heard, and respected. https://www.samhsa.gov/mental-health/what-is-mental-health/how-to-talk

In 1962, President Kennedy proclaimed May 15 as National Peace Officers Memorial Day and the calendar week in which May 15 falls, as National Police Week. Established by a joint resolution of Congress in 1962, National Police Week pays special recognition to those law enforcement officers who have lost their lives in the line of duty for the safety and protection of others. We honor the service and sacrifice of law enforcement across the country and thank all the women and men who serve/have served the City of Rochester.

National Police Week is a reminder that the law enforcement community stands together through grief, remembrance and service.
This week, we honor the fallen officers whose sacrifice will never be forgotten and the families who continue to keep their memories alive. We also recognize the officers who continue to serve their communities each day, carrying that legacy forward.
