NFL stadiums, notable bridges and Niagara Falls among landmarks lighting up green to raise awareness

ALEXANDRIA, Va.—In an effort spearheaded by Mental Health America (MHA), more than 200 iconic landmarks across the country will be lit in green, the color of mental health awareness, to mark the beginning of Mental Health Month in May and encourage people to take care of their well-being.

Among the buildings lighting up in green are One World Trade Center, the Wrigley Building, and numerous NFL stadiums.

Half of Americans will experience a mental health condition in their lifetime, and one in five will experience a mental health condition in a given year. MHA offers free, anonymous, clinically validated mental health screens at MHAScreening.org to help people take inventory of their well-being and connect with resources if needed.

MHA established Mental Health Month 76 years ago to promote public awareness and education surrounding mental health conditions, as well as the importance of prevention and early intervention. This year’s Mental Health Month theme, “Turn Awareness Into Action,” focuses on how individuals can improve their personal mental health or support the larger mental health movement. MHA has an action guide with free resources to help people build resilience, manage challenges, advocate, and thrive.

Members of the public are encouraged to post photos of landmarks lighting up green on Instagram and tag @MentalHealthAmerica.

Don’t see your building on the list below but want to join us in lighting up green during May? Interested in volunteering to photograph one of these landmarks for MHA? Email us at gderose@mhanational.org.
