The Bandana Project
April 17 - 30
"The Bandana Project is a program designed to support and spread awareness of resources for those with mental illness. The white bandanas, to be distributed across campus, are attached to students’ backpacks. This indicates that they are a safe individual to approach with mental health-related issues, that they know where resources are, and that they hold a few resource cards with outlets to get help and support in times of crisis. Furthermore, the student who pledges is promising to seek help and resources if they were to need it."
