See Change, the National Stigma Reduction Partnership and its 70 partner organisations (including MyMind) will be rolling out a month long national green ribbon campaign to get people talking openly about mental health problems in May 2013.

The aim of this green ribbon is to support a movement to spark a national conversation about mental health.

Following this event, See Change aims to make the month of May every year synonymous with challenging the stigma of mental health.

Green ribbons will be distributed nationwide free of charge and will not be associated with any fundraising activity. The Green Ribbon campaign is simply about raising awareness and challenging the stigma of mental health problems.
