It's May, so it's Mental Health Awareness Month! This year I'm going to ask you to tell me something about mental health. If you tell me something I don't know, you'll get a GC prize. You can enter more than once. In fact, you can enter as many times as you like! If you don't stump me, you'll still get a prize, a coin NLA item. So, tell me what you can find!

I'll give you a small GC prize for that one. Thanks for adding your Facebook link!
