The Kharis Company Observes
May Awareness Days
May is full. These are the days The Kharis Company is choosing to spotlight this month. Some are heavy. Some are fun. All of them are worth knowing about.
There are hundreds of meaningful awareness days in May. This list is not exhaustive. Every awareness day matters.
Conditions and Causes We Are Amplifying This Month
These days ask us to learn, stand with those who carry invisible weight, and speak up when silence is easier.
Mental Health Awareness Month
One week is never enough. The whole month exists to remind you: mental health is real health.
About This Observance
Mental Health Awareness Month has been observed in the United States since 1949, established by Mental Health America. It exists to move national conversation from stigma to support. Mental health conditions affect 1 in 5 American adults. Communities of color face added barriers including cultural stigma, limited access to culturally competent care, and systemic healthcare inequities. This month says: the conversation does not stop when May ends.
↗ Official SiteChildren's Mental Health Awareness Week
Every child deserves to feel seen, heard, and supported.
About This Observance
Children's Mental Health Awareness Week was established by Mental Health America to shine a light on the emotional and behavioral needs of children. Approximately 1 in 5 children in the United States experiences a mental health condition, yet most go untreated. The gap is wider in communities of color, where stigma and access barriers compound the crisis. Early awareness and early intervention change outcomes and, in many cases, change lives.
↗ Official SiteWorld Lupus Day
Disproportionately invisible. Disproportionately affecting women of color. Disproportionately underfunded.
About This Observance
World Lupus Day was established in 2004 by a coalition of lupus organizations across 13 countries to raise global awareness of this chronic autoimmune disease. Lupus affects approximately 5 million people worldwide. Black women are 2 to 3 times more likely to develop lupus than white women, tend to develop it at a younger age, and experience more severe symptoms. This day is a call for research, funding, and the kind of belief that patients should not have to fight for.
↗ Official SiteArthritis Awareness Month
The number one cause of disability in America and still one of the most dismissed.
About This Observance
Declared by the Arthritis Foundation, May has been Arthritis Awareness Month for decades. More than 54 million Americans live with some form of arthritis, which is 1 in 4 adults. Arthritis does not only affect the elderly. Children, young adults, and people in the prime of life carry this pain too. This month is about dismantling the assumption that pain must be visible to be valid.
↗ Official SiteFibromyalgia Awareness Day
Invisible pain is still pain. It deserves a real name, real research, and real respect.
About This Observance
May 12 was chosen to honor Florence Nightingale's birthday, as she is believed to have suffered from fibromyalgia. This day raises awareness for a condition affecting approximately 10 million Americans, 75 to 90 percent of whom are women. Fibromyalgia causes widespread chronic pain, fatigue, brain fog, and sleep disruption and is frequently dismissed by the medical community. Awareness is the first step toward being believed. Being believed is the first step toward healing.
↗ Official SiteNational Day of Prayer
Every nation needs a moment to be still and ask for more than it can accomplish on its own.
About This Observance
The National Day of Prayer was established by Congress in 1952 and signed into law by President Truman. Each year on the first Thursday in May, the President signs a proclamation calling all Americans to pray. It is nondenominational, an invitation to a unified spiritual posture across faith traditions and backgrounds. For those who believe, this day is a reminder that intercession is both a privilege and a responsibility that belongs to everyone.
↗ Official SiteDays Worth Honoring With Joy
These days invite us to recognize, appreciate, and be genuinely grateful for what holds us together.
Older Americans Month
The wisdom in the room is often the oldest voice in it. Honor it properly.
About This Observance
Older Americans Month was established in 1963 by President Kennedy, originally called "Senior Citizens Month," and renamed in 1980 to better reflect the ongoing vitality and contribution of older adults. Each May, the Administration for Community Living designates a theme to celebrate the roles older Americans play as leaders, mentors, and community anchors. This month is about honoring the people who built what we are standing on.
↗ Official SiteMilitary Appreciation Month
They signed up so we would not have to. Every day of May is the least we can give back.
About This Observance
National Military Appreciation Month was signed into law in 1999. May holds several key military observances including Victory in Europe Day, Armed Forces Day, and Memorial Day. The entire month exists as a sustained invitation to honor all who serve and have served in the U.S. Armed Forces, along with their families, who carry the weight of service in ways that rarely get acknowledged.
↗ Official SiteInternational Day of Families
Family is the first place most of us learn to love. And sometimes learn why love is more complicated than we were told.
About This Observance
The International Day of Families was proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly in 1993. It reflects the international community's recognition of families as the foundational units of society across every culture, country, and generation. Families come in every form: chosen and inherited, loud and quiet, healing and still working through it. This day is for all of them.
↗ Official SiteLove a Tree Day
It has been giving you oxygen this whole time. The least you can do is notice. And maybe hug one.
About This Observance
Love a Tree Day is an environmental awareness day encouraging people to appreciate, plant, spend time near, or yes, hug a tree. The lighthearted framing carries a real message. Trees filter air, regulate temperature, provide habitat, reduce stress, and sustain ecosystems that everything else depends on. With deforestation accelerating globally, taking one day to pause and genuinely appreciate these quiet contributors feels both necessary and overdue.
↗ Official SiteNational No Socks Day
Your feet have been trapped all winter. Set them free. This is not a drill.
About This Observance
National No Socks Day was created as a lighthearted celebration of warmer weather and the simple pleasure of going barefoot. There is no cause, no fundraiser, and no complicated history. The entire assignment is to kick off your socks and enjoy the feeling of freedom that comes with it. Sometimes awareness is just about noticing what is good. Today, that is your feet being free. You are welcome.
↗ Official SiteNational Hamburger Day
It has been holding America together since the county fair. Give it the respect it deserves.
About This Observance
National Hamburger Day celebrates one of America's most beloved foods. The hamburger's exact origin is disputed between Hamburg, Germany and several American claimants, but its cultural status is not. Whether you are a smash burger person, a veggie burger person, or a no-bun person, today is for the patty. Find your favorite spot, build your perfect burger, and eat it without one ounce of guilt. That is the whole assignment.
