NYC Mental Health Offerings for May 2025
Hi Friends,
The temperatures are climbing, shorts are getting shorter, and we’re really hoping you’ve got a good fan—or better yet, some trusty AC! May is also Mental Health Awareness Month, a reminder that caring for our minds is just as important as caring for our bodies. So, whether you're soaking up the sun or simply enjoying the lighter days, we’re here with resources, events, and encouragement to support your mental well-being all month long.
Wishing you all the best,
Veshonte & the IndieSpace Team
Are you looking to center yourself and focus on self-care without breaking the bank? Look no further! IndieSpace is excited to share a monthly catalog of FREE classes and Workshops in the NYC Boroughs and Online Virtual options.
