Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional from 'mental' + 'health' + 'awareness'—a straightforward compound indicating knowledge or consciousness about mental well-being. This follows regular English composition patterns and has clear parallels in many languages, so a B1 learner who knows the constituent words would readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
Mental health awareness creates a simple image: it is like people shining a light on problems of the mind. The word awareness means noticing or seeing, so by turning that light on for mental and health issues people gain 'knowledge' and 'understanding' and the 'stigma' around them falls away.
