The most recognized symbol comes from the Greenlight A Vet campaign. Here, a green bulb shows appreciation for veterans returning to civilian life.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond Veterans: Renewal and Awareness<\/p>\n<p>But green lights signify more than that. They represent renewal, balance, and well-being, making them perfect for mental health awareness. Many display green lights in May or on World Mental Health Day.
