This year's theme is Thrive in Mind
Green Ribbon Week (March 18-22, 2024) is the stigma reduction campaign for Tri-City Mental Health's ongoing mental health movement in Pomona, Claremont and La Verne. Established in 2015, Green Ribbon Week (GRW) continues the efforts of reducing mental health stigma and increasing awareness of mental health needs and resources in our community.
#ThriveinMind is this year's Green Ribbon Week theme. We encourage everyone to take action during Green Ribbon Week and throughout the year to help improve mental health in our community. Join us for free community-wide activities and events, both in-person and virtually. We can reduce the silence, shame and negative attitudes surrounding mental health by talking opening about it, raising awareness and listening to others share their story. You can help promote open discussions about mental health and make it possible for the people you care about to get the support they need to improve their well-being.
Download the GRW 2024 Community Partner Toolkit to learn how you can take action in your own community to reduce stigma. This toolkit includes pledge cards, event flyers, posters, zoom backgrounds and much more!
