Mental Health Awareness Week in schools

There are lots of ways for schools to take part in Mental Health Awareness Week. 

Wear it Green Day

Organise a Wear it Green Day in your school and help to raise vital funds and awareness for mental health.

By going green, you can support us in carrying out vital research and delivering programmes for different communities. We have all the resources you'll need to run your event, whether you’re holding a quiz at work, baking some treats for your family or holding a scavenger hunt at your school.

Join us for Wear It Green Day on Thursday 16 May during Mental Health Awareness Week (13-19 May) – and let’s turn the world green for good mental health!
