May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and friends of Cactus know it’s an issue that’s been near and dear to us for well over a decade now. A few years back we launched a video series called Frame of Mind, where we talk with brand leaders about important issues surrounding mental health and wellbeing. We've got another impressive lineup of marketers this year - check a great new conversation each week in May.
