New Alabama License Plate Aims to Spark conversations About Mental Health
BIRMINGHAM, ala. — A new initiative by the Alabama Department of Mental Health (ADMH) is turning heads—and license plates—across the state. The Mental Health matters license plate, now available for preorder, is designed to raise awareness and support for mental health resources in Alabama.
The plate, featuring a vibrant background and a tri-colored heart, boldly displays the message “Mental Health Matters.” It’s more than just a decorative addition to vehicles; it’s a call to action. Proceeds from the plate will fund the promotion of state, regional, and local mental health resources, ensuring that Alabamians have access to the support they need.“The Mental Health Matters license plate is a simple but powerful way to show your support, create connections with family and friends, and learn more about vital mental health resources in your community,” said Commissioner Kimberly Boswell of the ADMH. “We encourage everyone to share the message of mental health and wellness across the state.”
To bring this initiative to life, the ADMH has set an ambitious goal: securing 1,000 preorders by the end of 2025. This milestone is crucial for the plate to be produced and made available at tag registration offices statewide.
Why This Matters
