Did you know May is Mental Health Month?
Join us during the month of May to spread awareness around Mental Health Month.
Our goal is to let each person know that it’s okay to not be okay – and it’s also okay to ask for help.
Join the Stormers as they celebrate Mental Health Month at Clipper Magazine Stadium during each of the home games through the month of May.
Tuesday, May 12th @ 6:45PM
Sunday, May 17th @ 1:30PM
Saturday, May 29th @ 6:45PM
During this month at the games, you’ll see Cylo sharing various ways of supporting mental health while myths, facts, resources, and more shared about mental health on the jumbotron. Resource tables from different mental health organizations will also be available around the stadium.

Designated County and City building will be lit up green along with dozens of downtown businesses. Individuals, businesses, churches and schools are also being encouraged to light up green by simply changing a light bulb. In addition to the lights, you can also expect to see digital billboards in several locations around the County promoting “Shine the Light on Mental Health” theme as well as MHA’s social media filled with supportive mental health resources, tips, and awareness activities to “shine a light” on mental health.
Do you want to participate in this year’s Shine the Light Campaign?
Please be aware you will need to pick up your light from the MHA office!
When people ask about the green light, you can respond with any of the following as you feel comfortable:
- Share your story around mental health and how you take care of your mental health.
- Share this page with them, so they know how to get connected and learn about mental health resources in the community.
- Invite them to join in by asking them to light their spaces up green or by attending a home Stormers game during the month of May (3rd, 7th, 16th, 20th & 25th).
While there is so much more to learn about mental health, we hope that Mental Health Month and these activities shed some light on some of the ways we can improve our mental health. Reach out to any of those listed here for additional support, resources and connection.
