This May, Tobacco Free Lancaster County invites local businesses and community members to participate in the #GreenLightProjectNE, proudly partnering with the Mental Health Association of Nebraska and the Lancaster County Prevention Coalition (Talk Heart 2 Heart) for the third consecutive year.
In alignment with Mental Health America’s nationwide “Light Up Green” initiative, the Green Light Project encourages individuals and businesses throughout Nebraska to illuminate their homes and buildings with green lights during May. This visible display of solidarity supports those facing mental health challenges and helps break down the stigma surrounding mental health.
Participation is simple yet powerful—residents and businesses can illuminate their buildings green, display yard signs, and share supportive messages on social media using #GreenLightProjectNE. Complimentary green light bulbs and yard signs are available while supplies last at the Mental Health Association of Nebraska office located at 1500 S 70th St., STE 201.
Throughout the campaign, Tobacco Free Lancaster County will share valuable information about the impact of nicotine on mental health, including how quitting tobacco can improve symptoms of stress, anxiety and depression. The campaign encourages adopting healthy, supportive coping strategies for improved mental well-being.
