Green Bandana Project

Welcome to St. Cloud State's Green Bandana Project

At St. Cloud State we understand that mental health is a crucial aspect of student well-being. We believe in creating a supportive environment that fosters open conversations about mental health and offers assistance to those in need. The Green Bandana Project is one of the ways we're working to make a positive impact on our campus community.

What is the Green Bandana Project?

The Green Bandana Project is a symbol of hope, support, and solidarity for those experiencing mental health challenges. It is a grassroots initiative that encourages individuals to wear green bandanas as a sign that they are willing to listen and offer support to anyone who may be struggling with their mental health.

Our Commitment to Mental Health

We are dedicated to promoting mental health awareness and providing resources to support our students. The Green Bandana Project is one of the initiatives through which we demonstrate our commitment to the well-being of our community.

  2. Join Our Community: Become a part of the Green Bandana Project community. Connect with other students and staff members who are passionate about mental health advocacy. Reach out to Healthy Huskies for more information!

  3. Resources and Support: Access information about mental health resources available on campus and in the community. We provide guidance and support for those who may need assistance.

  4. Events and Workshops: Participate in events, workshops, and seminars that focus on mental health awareness, stress management, and self-care.

Break the Stigma

Mental health affects us all, and breaking the stigma surrounding it is a collective effort. By wearing a green bandana and engaging in open conversations about mental health, you can contribute to reducing stigma and providing support to your peers.

Get Your Green Bandana

Our ultimate goal is to spread this project throughout campus to let all students know their mental health matters, and that their peers, educators, and friends are mental health advocates. Bandanas can be found in the following locations:

  • Healthy Huskies office - Eastman 111
  • Dean of Students Office - Atwood 110
  • Athletics Hall of Champions - Halenbeck Hall
