Go Green for Mental Health: A Collaborative Initiative

The Maryland Association for Multicultural Counseling and Development is proud to partner with the Wellness and Mental Health Center at Prince George’s Community College (PGCC) and the Mental Health Association of Maryland to support the statewide “Go Green for Mental Health” initiative taking place May 10–16.

This annual campaign brings together organizations across Maryland to raise awareness about mental health, reduce stigma, and promote access to care.  This work is especially important within diverse and historically underserved communities. As part of this initiative, the PGCC Wellness and Mental Health Center will illuminate its space in green throughout the week, symbolizing a shared commitment to mental wellness and community support.

In addition to this visual display, a coordinated social media campaign will be launched to amplify mental health messaging, share resources, and encourage meaningful dialogue. Through partnership and collective action, we aim to foster environments where mental health is prioritized, culturally responsive care is valued, and individuals feel empowered to seek support.

MAMCD encourages counselors, educators, and community members to participate by wearing green, sharing resources, and engaging in conversations that promote mental health awareness and equity.

Together, we can continue advancing wellness and reducing stigma, one conversation at a time.
