Community members and patrons to The Green Bean were asked to
WEAR GREEN on MAY 21st to raise awareness for Mental Health.
Sanctuary House also continued to raise awareness throughout the
day by asking supporters to create a ‘Social Media Buzz’ by wearing green all
day and snapping a photo and posting on social media networks using
#sanctuaryhouse and #greenbean. The response was great and successful in reaching
more people and raising awareness for Mental Health.
According to NAMI (National Alliance for Mental Illness), “One
in four adults−approximately 61.5 million Americans−experiences mental illness
in a given year. One in 17−about 13.6 million−live with a serious mental
illness such as schizophrenia, major depression or bipolar disorder.”
