About Blue Tree Project
Blue Tree Project is a mental health charity that began in 2019 after the tragic loss of Jayden Whyte, a much-loved son, brother and friend to suicide in 2018. Blue Tree Project began as a grassroots initiative in regional Western Australia which has grown into a widely recognised and impactful global movement.
Blue trees now stand proudly across the globe, with over 1,395+ registered blue trees. These striking symbols of hope have resonated deeply, sparking open and meaningful conversations, positively transforming attitudes towards mental health.
Our Mission Statement
Blue Tree Project's mission is to help spark important conversations and encourage people to speak up about mental health by reducing the stigma.
More Than Just Blue Trees
Blue Trees Act As Visual Reminders & Conversation Starters
Each painted Blue Tree encourages open and honest conversations about mental health - both with ourselves and with others. Blue Trees break down the stigma by creating spaces for people to speak up, reach out and feel supported.
