The Green Bandana Project is a program for students that raises mental health awareness, reduces stigma, and connects students to mental health and suicide prevention resources. Green is the color of mental health awareness. Members go through a short training course, carry resource cards, and tie a green bandana to their backpack or another visible location as a way to let others on campus know that they are a member of the Green Bandana Project and a trusted person who knows how and where to reach out for help.

During this orientation, you will gain knowledge on mental health resources at PSU and in our community, you will learn how to navigate conversations with someone considering suicide and how to persuade them to get help, and you will receive a green bandana, which you may choose to wear to signify that, "I'm here to listen and connect you to resources." You will also receive a certification as a QPR Gatekeeper. Learn more here: TGBP Website | QPR Website | TGBP@pittstate.edu.
