It’s World Mental Health Day on the 10th of October, so at our office, we wore green ribbon pins and ate green gelato to show our support.
The aim of the green ribbon campaign is to wear a touch of green or a green ribbon to support individuals and their families affected by mental health conditions.
Green is the colour of mental health and represents balance, strength, hope and growth which we wish sufferers to attain.
Wearing green reassures sufferers that they are not alone and breaks down stigma associated with mental illness.
Mental illness is often invisible and sufferers conceal their struggles in fear of judgement therefore wearing a green ribbon gives their illness a presence.
