The Bandana Project
Request an overview or training
The Bandana Project is a national mental health awareness and suicide prevention campaign. Members of the program tie a lime green bandana to their backpack, which signifies that they carry national and local mental health and suicide prevention resources. This program works against the societal stigma associated with mental illness and creates more supportive communities. Having a bandana means that you are willing to have a conversation about mental health concerns and shows that it is normal to get help for your mental health.
