State capitols, NFL stadiums and Niagara Falls among landmarks lighting up green to raise awareness

ALEXANDRIA, Va., April 29, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- More than 200 iconic landmarks across the country will be lit in green, the color of mental health awareness, to mark the beginning of Mental Health Month in May and encourage people to take care of their well-being.

Among the buildings lighting up in green are the Wrigley Building, Boston City Hall, the Louisiana state capitol and NFL stadiums housing the Patriots, Dolphins and Titans. (See below for a complete list.)

Half of Americans will experience a mental health condition in their lifetime, and one in five will experience a mental health condition in a given year. Mental Health America (MHA) offers free, anonymous, clinically validated mental health screens at MHAScreening.org to help people take inventory of their well-being and connect with resources if needed.

MHA established Mental Health Month 75 years ago to promote public awareness and education surrounding mental health conditions as well as the importance of prevention and early intervention. This year’s Mental Health Month theme, “Where to Start: Mental Health in a Changing World,” focuses on how external factors, such as society, politics or the economy, can make seeking help for a mental health condition even more overwhelming. MHA has a downloadable toolkit with free resources to help people raise awareness and find out where to start their mental health journey.

Members of the public are encouraged to post photos of landmarks lighting up green on Instagram and tag @MentalHealthAmerica.

Don’t see your building on the list below but want to join us in lighting up green during May? Want to volunteer to photograph one of these landmarks for MHA? Email us at gderose@mhanational.org.
