WEAR GREEN AND SUPPORT MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS!

Did you know that 1 in 5 Americans will experience a diagnosable mental health condition this year? By joining the “Be Seen in Green” challenge during Mental Health Month this May, you’re not just wearing a color, you’re shining a light of hope and support on mental health for millions. Aiming to educate Americans about mental health and mental health conditions, Mental Health Month was started in 1949 by Mental Health America. Over the years, we’ve engaged millions in our mission through media, events, resources, and screenings. This tradition continues with a vibrant display of solidarity: wearing green to symbolize our collective commitment to mental well-being.

Why wear green? As the official color for mental health awareness, green represents renewal, hope, and vitality. Wearing green, whether it’s a complete outfit, a simple green awareness bracelet, or lighting up your building, symbolizes unwavering support for mental health. Participating in this challenge sends a powerful message: Mental health is important, and by joining together, we are advocating for and supporting mental health.

• To Celebrate our efforts to support our students and families we are partnering with Peach Jam to host a Family Night!
• June 7th at 6:00pm ALL Chilton County Students and families are invited to this FREE concert!
