Quick answer
Workplaces running a mental health awareness week often give staff a wristband to wear as a simple, visible way to show support and open the door to conversations about wellbeing.
Mental health support weeks work best when the message feels approachable, and a wristband gives staff an easy, low-pressure way to show they're part of the conversation.
Why wristbands suit mental health support weeks
A wristband gives every staff member a small, shared way to show support, without needing to say anything or single anyone out.
Starting conversations without pressure
A wristband worn during a support week can be a quiet conversation-starter, giving colleagues an easy opening if they want to talk.

Design ideas for the week
A calm colour paired with a short, supportive word tends to suit this kind of campaign better than anything bold or clinical.
Timing it around your support week
Handing out wristbands at the start of a mental health awareness week gives the campaign a visible presence for the whole week, not just a single event.
Keeping the message inclusive
A simple, welcoming design works best, since a support week is meant to include everyone, not just those who feel comfortable speaking up.
