Turning Awareness Into Action

The City is joining the community in “Lighting Up Green” for Mental Health Awareness Month. Throughout May, buildings across Santa Barbara County will shine in lime green, the official color of mental health awareness. This campaign serves as a powerful reminder that no one is alone in facing mental health challenges. This year’s national theme, “Turn Awareness Into Action,” encourages us all to move beyond acknowledgment and take meaningful steps toward lasting change.

Why Mental Health Matters:

  • Mental health is essential to overall health and well-being.
  • 1 in 5 people will experience a mental health condition in any given year.
  • Early intervention saves lives—seeking support at the first signs of concern can make all the difference.
  • Now is the time to take action—raising awareness is just the beginning. Let’s commit to lasting change.

Need Support? You Are Not Alone.
