May is Mental Health Awareness Month
Be kind to your mind.
May is Mental Health Awareness Month. Taking time each May to focus on mental health is an important reminder that mental well-being deserves the same attention as physical health. This May, consider taking a free “Mental Health First Aid” training. Just as CPR helps someone respond to a physical emergency, Mental Health First Aid gives individuals the tools to respond calmly and confidently when a family member, friend or flying partner struggles emotionally. It builds empathy, strengthens communication skills, and helps create safer, more supportive environments.
During Mental Health Month, consider taking a Mental Health First Aid course, virtually or in-person. Mental Health First Aid’s evidence-based training gives you the skills to recognize when someone is facing mental health or substance use challenges and the confidence to be their first source of support.

Cabin temperature concerns are not new—but they are becoming more frequent, more widespread, and more difficult to ignore. Flight Attendants across the system have reported excessive heat on aircraft, both on the ground and in-flight, impacting not only comfort but safety for crew and passengers alike.
