What is the Green Bandana Project?
The Green Bandana Project is a student-driven mental health awareness initiative designed to promote peer support and increase access to mental health resources within high schools and college campuses.
Students who participate in the program wear a green bandana to signal that they are a safe and supportive peer who can help connect others to available resources.
The initiative focuses on:
-
Increasing awareness of mental health and suicide prevention
-
Encouraging peer-to-peer support among students
-
Promoting early connection to trusted resources
-
Creating a visible and accessible support system within the school environment
