November Psychology, Mental Health, and Awareness Holidays
This series lists holidays related to psychology, mental health, and raising awareness. There will be lists for months, weeks, and days. The intention is to raise general awareness of topics, offer ideas for potential content creation, and create opportunities to learn something new. It does not include all possible holidays; it just highlights the ones I chose for this particular 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.
