Mental Health Awareness Campaign
NFBPA South FL Goes Green is a social media campaign dedicated to raising awareness around mental health while celebrating leadership, unity, and community across our chapter.
In recognition of the importance of mental wellness in both our personal and professional lives, members are encouraged to wear green—the color of mental health awareness—and capture photos or short video clips throughout their day. Whether at work, in the community, or taking a moment for self-care, each submission represents our collective commitment to supporting mental health and well-being.
These moments will be compiled into a powerful highlight video showcasing the strength of our chapter and our shared message: Mental Health Matters.
The campaign will culminate at our May Chapter Meeting, where the video will be featured, followed by a special guest speaker leading a discussion on mental health, wellness, and the importance of prioritizing self-care in public service.
One Day. One Color. One Message: Mental Health Matters. 💚
Join us as NFBPA South Florida shows up in green to promote awareness, reduce stigma, and support a culture of wellness.
