Paint a Tree Blue

Why Paint A Blue Tree?

Blue Tree Project uses painted blue trees to raise awareness for mental health. Each blue tree acts as a visual reminder and symbol of support, sparking conversations and breaking the stigma around mental health.

By painting a tree, you're helping create a more open, supportive community where mental health is recognised and discussed. Join the movement toward fighting for a mentally healthier future.

A simple "Why is that tree blue?" can lead to endless conversations that make a real difference.
