The Santa Barbara County Department of Behavioral Wellness is calling upon community members, organizations, and businesses to illuminate their support for mental health this May as part of the nationwide “Light Up Green” campaign. This initiative aims to raise awareness about mental health issues and encourage open conversations within the community.
Participating in the campaign is as simple as decorating spaces with green lights, whether in homes, businesses, or local landmarks. The color green is associated with mental health awareness, symbolizing hope and recovery.
Local officials encourage all citizens to take part in this movement, as it fosters a supportive atmosphere and highlights the importance of mental wellness. By bringing attention to mental health, it is hoped that stigma will decrease, and more individuals will feel empowered to seek help.
For more information on how to participate and spread awareness, community members are encouraged to visit the Santa Barbara County Department of Behavioral Wellness website.
