Green Bandana Project
SCSU Green Bandana Project
The Green Bandana Project is designed to help people who are experiencing mental health become more aware of resources available.  Â
Here’s how the project works. Students attach green bandanas to their backpacks. This is the signal that they are safe and willing to help someone struggling with a mental health.Â
Not only does the Green Bandana Project give practical resources to people across campus, but it provides invaluable visible support.Â
Â
You are not alone.
If you see a green bandana on someone's backpack, it is a sign of quiet solidarity.ÂÂ
Why the Green Bandana Project at SCSU?
The Green Bandana Project is a national initiative with that exists in many forms. The SCSU Green Bandana Project was launched in January 2020.Â
