The Starfish Story
The Starfish Story tells of a young boy who, while walking along a beach covered with stranded starfish, begins throwing them back into the sea one by one. When told his efforts can’t possibly make a difference to them all, he replies, “It made a difference to that one.” This simple yet powerful story highlights the impact of small, meaningful actions, even in the face of overwhelming challenges.
At Red Umbrella, we take the same approach to mental health. While the scale of workplace mental health issues can seem daunting, we focus on making a tangible difference—one person, one organisation, one solution at a time. Every step we take towards supporting someone’s wellbeing creates ripples of positive change, proving that even small actions can transform lives.
Like the boy and the starfish, we believe every effort matters, and every individual is worth it.
