During Mental Health Awareness Month, we want to remind state employees about the FREE mental health resources available. This is also a time when we stand in solidarity with organizations across the U.S. fighting the stigma of mental health.

Since 1985, the first week of May has been designated as a time to honor the men and women who serve our nation as federal, state, county and local government employees.
When we consider our current challenges in the fight against coronavirus, the importance of public service is quite clear. In Kentucky, agencies have been encouraged to explore "virtual" ways to recognize public service workers, while practicing social distancing. Here are a few ways we are recognizing state employees:
- During Public Service Recognition Week, Gov. Beshear and Personnel Cabinet Secretary Whethers are among those honoring our public service professionals for their hard to work serve fellow Kentuckians, especially during these unprecedented times. Click here to see video from Gov. Beshear.
- Public Service Recognition Week (PSRW) is also a time when students across Kentucky are invited to submit poster art honoring public service workers. This year's theme is "Making a Difference." Click here to view 2020 submissions.
- The Personnel Cabinet interviewed the longest serving Executive branch employee of 58 years, Mr. David Whitehouse from the Dept. of Revenue. Click here to read the Q&A where he shares his beginnings in state government, proudest moments and words of wisdom.
