Mental Health Awareness uses a green ribbon to show cause support. It is important to receive help when needed for a mental health health problem or illness.
If unsure where to go for help, talk to someone you trust who has experience in mental health—for example, a doctor, nurse, social worker, or religious counselor. Ask their advice on where to seek treatment. If there is a university nearby, its departments of psychiatry or psychology may offer private and/or sliding-scale fee clinic treatment options. Otherwise, check the Yellow Pages under mental health, health, social services, crisis intervention services, hotlines, hospitals,or physicians for phone numbers and addresses. In times of crisis, the emergency room doctor at a hospital may be able to provide temporary help for a mental health problem, and will be able to tell you where and how to get further help.
Listed below are the types of people and places that will make a referral to, or provide, diagnostic and treatment services.
The green awareness ribbon is for kidney cancer, celiac disease, bipolar disorder, environmental protection, mental health, Tourette’s Syndrome, bone marrow donation, cerebral palsy, literacy, tissue donation, organ transplant, spinal cord injury, depression, and missing children to name a few.
