To mark the launch of this year’s “See Change” Green Ribbon campaign, Mary Immaculate College have illuminated the front of their Thurles Campus building, in green.
Now in its 13th year, the See Change Green Ribbon Campaign initiative is dedicated to raising awareness and fostering open conversations regarding mental health issues across Ireland.
As part of this year’s campaign, Mary Immaculate College (MIC) and Leadership for Inclusion in the Early Years Consortium (LINC ) programme will host an online event on Thursday, September 26th at 7:00pm, featuring See Change Ambassador Mr Anthony O’Reardon, who will share his experiences and thoughts on the ever evolving landscape of mental health awareness.
Students, faculty, staff, and the wider community are invited to attend this free online event. You can register by clicking Here.
Reflecting on the significance of MIC and the LINC Programme’s involvement, Mr O’Reardon expressed his gratitude, noting: “The support of MIC and the LINC Programme is greatly appreciated and is a huge help in raising awareness and supporting the Green Ribbon Campaign. Thankfully, society’s attitude towards mental health is changing, evolving from previous generations’ negative attitudes”.
Ms Aisling Knox, President of MISU, added, stating, “We welcome the See Change Green Ribbon Campaign to our Limerick and Thurles campuses. As a strong advocate for mental health awareness, Mary I Students’ Union is delighted to support MIC in this initiative”.
