The Green Bandana Project is a student-driven movement dedicated to preventing suicide by promoting help-seeking behavior and increasing awareness of mental health resources on college campuses.
The bandana is the symbol of the project, signifying that a student carrying a bandana is:
| An advocate for mental health | |
| A trusted source of support | |
| Knowledgeable of mental health and suicide prevention resources |

After a short orientation and basic suicide prevention training (QPR and Kognito), student participants can attach or display a WashU-customized green bandana on their backpack, bag, or person, signifying they have pledged to be a safe individual to approach for mental health and suicide prevention resources at WashU.
