  • Why Do We Wear Green During Mental Health Awareness Week and Other Questions Answered

Why do we wear green during Mental Health Awareness Week? And other questions answered

This week Robinson Brothers is supporting for Mental Health Awareness Week in lots of different ways. The theme of kindness and raising mental health awareness is more important than ever with the disruption and uncertainty that COVID-19 has bought.

We are wearing items of green and selling green ribbons, with all proceeds being donated to the Mental Health Foundation Charity. According to the Mental Health Foundation, green is the international symbol for mental health awareness. Such bright colours show colleagues, friends, family and strangers that we are thinking about the mental health of ourselves and those around us.

Visibly showing support for the campaign helps to curate a safe space for conversations.

Fruit has also been distributed to employees. According to the NHS, eating more fruit and vegetables increases mood, emotional wellbeing and physical health.

Research from the Mental Health Foundation concludes that almost two-thirds of UK adults say that being kind to others has had a positive impact on their mental health. Random acts of kindness have been encouraged throughout the company. It is also important to be kind to ourselves, such as ensuring we get enough sleep. As stated by the Harvard Medical School, those who receive a good night’s sleep have increased mental and emotional resilience. Our relationship with sleep can be improved by lifestyle changes, relaxation techniques and physical activity.

Mental Health Awareness courses have been organised whereby employees are guided on how to recognise when someone is experiencing mental health problems and to understand the first steps to support them. The course emphasised the importance of a conversation and outlined the next steps in supporting the individual.
