Psychology, Mental Health, and Awareness Holidays - December 2024
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 about topics, give ideas for possible content creation, and create opportunities to learn something new.
I have split types of holidays 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 may have written on the subject.

If you require emergency assistance, call or text 988 or visit 988lifeline.org/chat to reach a crisis counselor for support.
