Short answer: No. Long answer: We’ve elected not to have chapters at this time. Because Code Green is a grassroots organization we believe that individuals working to spread our mission can accomplish as much, if not more, than chapters could. Getting involved with Code Green is really about making the conscious decision to advocate for improved mental health whenever you can, which is something that we have to do as individuals and not something a chapter can accomplish. You don’t have to be a member of a chapter to speak up when you hear people disparaging psych patients or saying things like “suck it up”. You don’t have to be a member of a chapter to let people know that you are someone they can come to and talk to if they need help. You don’t have to be a member of a chapter to keep our resource cards or brochures on hand to give to people. You can encourage your agency to make sure information about how to access mental health resources is readily available to everyone. You can volunteer to find some resources in your area, or write a proposal for your department to push them into developing a program. There are so many things that you can do right now to help the cause without the bureaucracy that chapters create.   Another thing to consider is that chapters take a lot of time, effort, and money to organize and support. Code Green is run by volunteers, and we don’t have the administrative or financial resources to run them right now. That all being said, we are working on developing Code Green administered Peer Support teams, which is the most common purpose people have when they ask us about starting a chapter in their area. This is a developing program that is in its early stages and it will probably be late 2018/early 2019 before it moves beyond the beta/testing period.
