The Phi Alpha Delta Health Initiative (PADHI) invites you to celebrate Mental Health Awareness Month this May!

At the PADHI Virtual Happy Hour you can expect an evening of games, laughter, and fraternalism from 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (EST) Tuesday, May 20, 2025, via Zoom.  The PADHI virtual happy hour will be hosted by PAD Sister Acacia Bellamy (Baltimore Alumni Chapter). 

Mental Health Awareness Month aims to raise awareness and reduce stigma surrounding mental health conditions, encourage open conversations, and highlight the importance of mental wellbeing.  In recent years, mental health has become a significant focus in the legal profession due to the high stress levels and demanding nature of the legal field.  Phi Alpha Delta Law Fraternity, International is the world’s preeminent law fraternity because of our dedication to service: service to the student, the school, the profession, and the community.  As the largest legal fraternity internationally dedicated to service, it is our responsibility to promote, encourage, motivate, and support the health and well-being of our members.  

In light of recent world events, we want to encourage PAD members to support each other through this year’s PADHI programming in recognition of Mental Health Awareness Month.  With this year's PADHI programming, we hope to bring some joy to the lives of fellow PAD members that focus on hope and resilience in navigating these challenging times.  Though it may just seem like a fun way to connect with PADs across the country, this year’s initiatives represent our core values, most of all compassion and service to the community. 

Any questions concerning this year’s PADHI Initiative programming, please feel free to contact Acacia Bellamy (Baltimore Alumni Chapter) and Michelle Meloche (St. Louis Alumni Chapter) at padhealthinitiative@gmail.com.
