💚💜 Happy World Mental Health Day! 💜💚

Today, let’s remind one another that talking about mental health doesn’t have to happen all at once. Sometimes, it starts with a small step: checking in with someone you trust, sharing what’s on your mind, or just letting someone know you’re there to listen.

Keep swiping for tips on how to start the conversation and support the ones you care about. 💚

Let's reaffirm our commitment to mental health, remove stigma, and build systems rooted in aloha and compassion for all.

FOLD A CRANE. SHARE HOPE. CHANGE A LIFE.

📅 September 1–30, 2026
🕊️ 4th Annual Messages of Hope

This September, the Hawaiʻi National Guard (HIANG) and community partners invite you to be part of the 4th Annual Messages of Hope campaign, a community-wide effort to spread messages of encouragement, connection, and hope during Su***de Prevention & Awareness Month.

Inspired by the Japanese tradition of the senbazuru (1,000 paper cranes), each origami crane represents hope, healing, resilience, and the power of human connection.

🕊️ HOW YOU CAN PARTICIPATE:
1️⃣ CREATE: Fold one or more origami cranes.
2️⃣ WRITE: Add a message of hope or encouragement to your crane. 💌
3️⃣ DROP OFF: Bring your cranes to the second floor of the O'ahu Navy Exchange.
4️⃣ VISIT & EXPERIENCE: Throughout September 1–30, 2026, visit the community display and experience thousands of messages of hope from people across Hawaiʻi.

One crane can make a difference. Thousands can inspire hope.
