May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and community members, businesses, and organizations are encouraged to show their support by participating in initiatives such as “Light it up Green,” by displaying green lights, and “Wear Green,” by wearing green clothing throughout the month. National Wear it Green Day will take place on Friday, May 15, 2026, and proclamations recognizing the month will be read at City Council meetings in Rochester (April 21), Dover (April 22), and Somersworth (May 4).
