🌼🌞🌷 Academy Awards May 2026 🌼🌞🌷

A Month Of Advocacy, Awareness, Caring For Our Minds, Inner Strength, And Lifting Each Other Up  

May brings longer days, warmer light, and that sense that everything — including us — is stretching forward. It’s a month of steady progress and noticing how far we’ve come. The Academy thrives because of everyone who shows up with curiosity, patience, and heart: trainees who keep learning, mentors who guide with care, interns who bring fresh ideas, and leaders who hold the space with clarity.

💚 Since May is Mental Health Awareness Month, it’s a meaningful time to recognize how much emotional support and teamwork matter here. Every kind message, thoughtful question, and moment of patience helps someone feel safe and less alone. 💚

This month, we celebrate those who helped others feel seen, supported, and encouraged in their academy journey. Each of you adds something valuable to this community. Growth isn’t always dramatic — often it’s the quiet consistency, the gentle check‑ins, and the willingness to try again. And that truly matters.

I hope May brings you confidence in your progress, warmth in your connections, and the courage to keep moving forward in your academy journey. I’m grateful for the dedication, teamwork, and compassion that continue to shape this space.

And with that, I’m thrilled to announce this month’s nominations.

⦁ What can I say about them ? What a sincere mentor they are !! I have had them help me through three whole programs - the Internship, QLP and LDP. Everytime they are the one to be a reliable support for me. I ask so many doubts but they are always quick to respond with clear answers. They are the reason I was able to clear these many programs. They never delay for more than a day. If I leave a doubt one morning, I have full confidence there is a response by evening. They are composed and their nature comes off as a calm and grounded. They stay on what needs to be done instead of deviating and they are never a source of confusion for me. I love their work style of short and clear responses that are quick, and to the point. Even though my interaction with them has been fully to the point, I still feel very highly about them. They deserve this award for doing the reliable work behind the scenes to bring others up. If anyone is confused, scared, does not know what to do - please get this person as a mentor !
