💚 AMICETTES ARE GOING GREEN! 💚
Our Amicettes are wearing green to raise awareness about mental health, promote understanding, and help break the stigma that too often keeps people from speaking up and seeking support.
Observed annually on October 10, World Mental Health Day is an international initiative supported by the World Health Organization (WHO) to raise awareness and mobilize action for mental health worldwide. The 2026 theme, “Lived experiences heard: real voices, real change,” reminds us that listening to those with lived experience is essential to building a more supportive and understanding world.
💚 Why green? Green represents mental health awareness, hope, and support. By wearing green, our Amicettes are helping spread an important message: mental health matters, asking for help is a strength, and no one should have to struggle in silence.
🌱 Our commitment goes beyond one day or one month. We are fighting stigma all year round—not only in May. Through education, compassion, open conversations, and community support, we can help create an environment where everyone feels seen, heard, valued, and supported.

Let’s keep the conversation going, listen without judgment, and remind our youth and families that it’s okay not to be okay, and it’s always okay to ask for help.
