Say no to Mental Health Stigma
September 1st marks the first day of See Change’s Green Ribbon Month in Ireland. This will be the 9th annual campaign so far. The aim of this month is to raise awareness and get people talking about mental health, in the hopes of ending the stigma and discrimination that surrounds it. According to the See Change website, green ribbons show “you are committed to influencing positive change” around this matter.
Today is the official launch of See Change's #GreenRibbonIRL 2021!
Pick up your Green Ribbon in participating Boots, Eir, Irish Rail or AIB stores to support mental health conversations #EndTheStigma
