May is women’s health month and June is men’s health month, and both include mental health.

woah I didn’t even know May was women’s health month - goes to show that we don’t push it in everyone’s faces unlike this whole men’s health month stuff

The popularity of theme months vary, and it’s not always a fairness thing. Unless it was a government initiative at some point, it’s really up to the group who wants to celebrate to advertise and make it fun/engaging/significant. For example, breast cancer awareness month in October is a pretty big thing, even though “women’s health month” is not well known.
