Mental Health Awareness
Mental Health and Wellness is a growing concern in our families, community, and nation. The 2020 pandemic only exacerbated these concerns. Montgomery City Council and staff are committed to being change agents in de-stigmatizing mental illness and increasing awareness, advocacy and education of mental health and wellbeing. The City is working on creating programming, content, and outreach efforts to support this initiative.

Why a Bluebird?
The bluebird symbolizes hope, love, and renewal in many cultures. Even in the harshest climates, when bluebirds have a scarcity of food, they will manage to sing cheerfully. It is a sign that you should never lose faith, even in your darkest hours. You must hold to the belief that it will all be alright in the end.
