RMC Brings Awareness to Mental Health on ‘Wear Green Day’

The halls of Regional Medical Center in Manchester were filled with shades of green last Thursday as staff participated in “Wear Green Day.”

This visual display of support was held in honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, serving as a reminder that mental health is an essential part of overall well-being.

The color green is the international symbol for mental health awareness, representing hope and new beginnings. This year, RMC is aligning with the national theme, “More Good Days, Together,” which encourages the community to reflect on what a “good day” looks like and how we can support one another in achieving them.

“Seeing our staff come together in green is a powerful reminder that no one has to navigate their mental health journey alone,” shared Bruce Gregory, Regional Family Health Behavioral Services Therapist. “By wearing green, we are breaking the silence and letting our community know that support is available.”

RMC continues to offer specialized programs to ensure community members have “more good days”:

• Senior Life Solutions: An intensive outpatient group therapy program tailored for adults typically 65 and older. This program helps seniors manage life transitions, grief, or symptoms of depression and anxiety in a supportive, group-based environment.

• Regional Family Health Behavioral Services: Providing comprehensive counseling for children, adolescents, adults and families. Their team of professionals treat a wide range of concerns including ADHD, trauma, life stressors and so much more.

While “Wear Green Day” has concluded, the commitment to mental health continues through the year. Find mental health support and resources at regmedctr.org/mentalhealth.
