Green Ribbon Campaign
1 September – 30 September
Green Ribbon Campaign
Shine manages the national stigma-reduction programme for Ireland. An important part of this work is our annual Green Ribbon Campaign, which is now in its 16th year.
We know that mental health stigma remains a significant barrier to treatment and recovery for individuals and their families with mental illness. Stigma leads to discrimination, social exclusion, and a lack of support, exacerbating mental health problems and increasing the risk of loss to suicide.
