The Green Bandana Project

The Green Bandana Project (TGBP) raises mental health awareness, reduces stigma, and connects students to mental health and suicide prevention resources. Members go through a 2-hour Green Bandana orientation and QPR training course, carry resource cards, and tie a green bandana to a visible location to let others know that they are a trusted person who knows how and where to reach out for help.

A green bandana DOES mean:

Listening without judgment
Distributing resource cards
Empowering students to seek help
Fighting stigma

A green bandana does NOT mean:

NOT mental health treatment
NOT peer counseling
NOT crisis intervention
NOT suicide risk assessment
