The green ribbon is the international symbol of mental health awareness. Did you know that the average adult will say "I'm fine" 14 times per week, yet only 19% actually mean it? At the Mental Health Foundation, we encourage people to wear the pin to create walking safe spaces for people to talk about mental health.
You can order your green ribbon badge here. All proceeds fund our life-changing work dedicated to finding and addressing the sources of mental health problems.
As well as ordering your own green ribbon, you can encourage your friends and family to buy and wear one with pride.
You can help us spread the word by sharing your story online. Simply post a picture and tell us why you are wearing your green ribbon pin with our hashtag #PinItForMentalHealth. You can find us on Instagram: @mentalhealthfoundation and Twitter: @mentalhealth.
You can contact us by email at [email protected] for all your green ribbon order queries.
We provide high-quality, evidence-based information on a range of mental health topics, all of which are free to download.
