We wore BLUE on Friday, May 29, 2026, to help raise awareness about the importance of healthy sleep habits and overall wellness. Sleep plays a major role in both physical and mental health. Getting enough quality sleep helps improve concentration, mood, memory, productivity, and decision-making throughout the workday. Poor sleep can lead to fatigue, increased stress, difficulty focusing, and decreased performance both at work and in daily activities.
Adults are generally encouraged to get at least 7 hours of sleep each night to support optimal health and functioning. Prioritizing sleep can help improve energy levels, reduce health risks, and support a healthier and more productive workplace.
Tips for better sleep:
• Maintain a consistent sleep schedule
• Limit screen time before bed
• Avoid caffeine late in the day
• Create a quiet and comfortable sleep environment
• Stay physically active during the day

We recognize Mental Health Awareness Month by wearing GREEN to raise awareness about mental health and support emotional well-being in our communities.
Mental health is an important part of overall health and affects how we think, feel, and cope with daily life. Raising awareness helps reduce stigma, encourages open conversations, and reminds individuals that support and resources are available. Taking care of our mental health is just as important as taking care of our physical health.
💚 We come together to
• Raise awareness about mental health and emotional well-being
• Encourage open and supportive conversations about mental health
• Promote self-care, stress management, and healthy coping skills
• Support individuals and families affected by mental health challenges
• Advocate for access to mental health resources and support services
