Inclusion

This theme builds on the theme of Discrimination from Green Ribbon 2020, and continues the tone of previous months leading up to campaign (work with minority groups; see below).

Language of Mental Health

Encouraging people to be aware of the language they use and to take responsibility to educate themselves.

Across our Green Ribbon Campaign and pre-campaign, we will be focused on giving people the tools before asking them to make change.

See Change are conducting research on language this year which will tie in with this.
