Support Mental Health Awareness - wear the ribbon
By Charlotte Fantelli
Uniting a cause through colour has proven effective for many charities and organisations over the years; think pink and you will likely think of breast cancer, think red and AIDS comes to mind, well 
now we have a lime coloured revolution sweeping the world, trying to do the same for mental health awareness.
Lead by Shannon Jacuzzi, who has first-hand experience of the difficulties faced by those with mental illness and their loved ones, Lime-light aims to bring change through the use of lime ribbons. Sharing a lime ribbon on your facebook, twitter profile, or website, will make a statement that you are proud to support mental health awareness and help bring these issues into the light.
I for one have supported this by placing badges on all of my personal and business media for the month of May, hoping that in doing so I can encourage others to be bold and do the same.
There is such prejudice and misunderstanding surrounding mental illness, it is about time we made a day-glow coloured statement opposing the outdated view that mental illness belongs in the shadows.
