June Psychology, Mental Health, and Awareness Holidays
Updated for 2026!
This series lists holidays related to psychology, mental health, and raising awareness. There will be lists for months, weeks, and days.
Use these lists as a jumping point to:
Explore with curiosity and learn something new
Contribute to raising awareness about different issues and causes
Find inspiration for content creation
It does not include all possible holidays; it highlights only the ones I chose for this month.
I have split holiday types into Awareness Holidays and Psych/Mental Health Holidays. I used nationaltoday.com to find all the holidays listed below. Not affiliated. Some may have links to blogs I have written on the subject.
Find out more about how this series came to be in this Meet The Author post.
