Today is National Children’s Mental Health Awareness Day. Green is the national color for mental health awareness. Wearing a green shirt or ribbon today is a great way to jump-start a talk-story session with friends, family, classmates and co-workers about mental health.

Today, keiki in all Hawaii public schools, and everyone who supports our cause of positive children’s mental health, are being asked to wear green to show their support. Thank you to the Hawaii Department of Education for helping get out the word about wearing green today to Hawaii’s keiki and their families.
