UKEMs Wear It Green Day
Here at UKEM we are happy to announce our participation in the Wear It Green Initiative, aimed at raising awareness for mental health. We also wanted to raise money for this cause, and we all chose to donate to The Mental Health Foundation.
What is The Mental Health Foundation?
The Mental Health Foundation, based in the UK, is all about boosting mental well-being for people of all ages and backgrounds. They’re on a mission to help and support those going through tough times with their mental health and to overall spread the word in the UK.
What is the Wear It Green initiative?
The Wear It Green Initiative takes place on Mental Health Day. This annual day is all about raising awareness and promoting understanding of mental health issues and it goes beyond the vibrant green attire worn by UKEM staff. It’s a powerful symbol of international mental health awareness, with green representing hope, support, and unity.
This initiative signifies a commitment to breaking the stigma surrounding mental health and promoting an inclusive environment where these crucial conversations are encouraged and supported. It’s a visual reminder that together, we can make a meaningful impact on the well-being of individuals facing mental health challenges.
We are dedicated to making sure those at UKEM are supported and receive the support and care they deserve whenever they need it.
What does our team think?
We got some words from UK Expert Medical Operations Manager Carl who organised the Wear It Green Day for us:
“The Wear It Green Day & the Mental Health Awareness Week as a whole is really important to us all at UKEM as it affects every single person, not just in our team but worldwide, even if they don’t think it does. It’s vital that as a company we are here to support all of our team and encourage them to be open about their mental health and wellbeing and try to help as much as we can daily.”
All of us here at UKEM are looking forward to participating In Wear It Green again next year as well as more events focused on awareness mental wellbeing.
