Light up Green with TCOE and Mental Health America!
Alongside Mental Health America (MHA), Project AWARE is lighting up green in celebration of 75th Mental Health Month!
Mental Health Month was started by Mental Health America (known at the time as the National Association for Mental Health) in 1949 and has been observed every May for the last 75 years!
Light Up Green is part of MHA's Mental Health Month campaign, in which they ask buildings and structures across the United States to light up green, the color for mental health awareness throughout May. Throughout Tulare County, educational organizations and businesses are lighting up green in support of Mental Health Awareness Month.
For a complete list of Tulare County businesses lighting up green, click here. You can also see a map of participating businesses here.
