The Green Bandana Project is a student-led mental health awareness initiative that helps break the stigma around mental health. Participants wear or display a green bandana on a backpack, bag, or jacket to show they are a safe, judgment-free person to talk to and direct indidvauls who are struggling to the right resources.
