What is the theme of Green Ribbon 2023?

The Green Ribbon theme for 2023 is judgement. Across the month, See Change will explore what mental health judgement is, where it shows up across society, how judgement impacts people with mental health difficulties, and what we call all do to help end the unfair judgement of ourselves and others.

Keep an eye on our social media channels to learn about shame and the negative impacts it can have on people with mental health difficulties.
