The Green Bandana Project is a program for students that raises mental health awareness, reduces stigma, and connects students to mental health and suicide prevention resources. Student members go through a short training course, carry resource cards, and tie a green bandana to their backpack or another visible location as a way to let their peers know that they are a member of the Green Bandana Project and a trusted person who knows how and where to reach out for help.
What the program IS:
- Listening without judgement
- Distributing resource cards
- Empowering students to seek help
- Fighting stigma
What the program is NOT:
- NOT mental health treatment
- NOT peer counseling
- NOT crisis intervention
- NOT suicide risk assessment
