Shine Green Ribbon Campaign

October 20, 2025

During wellbeing week our students were given green ribbons to wear in order to support Shine’s Green Ribbon Campaign. 

‘We know that mental health stigma remains a significant barrier to treatment and recovery for individuals and their families with mental illness.  Stigma leads to discrimination, social exclusion, and a lack of support, exacerbating mental health problems and increasing the risk of loss to suicide.’
