Who are we?

Have you seen green bandanas on students' backpacks around campus? If so, you have landed on the right page! Loyola’s Green Bandana Brigade genuinely cares about each individual’s well-being in our campus community. The green bandana is a sign of stigma-free solidarity.

The Green Bandana Brigade’s goal is to spread awareness of campus, local, and national resources for students coping with mental health concerns. An individual with a green bandana on their backpack or in their office is identified as a safe, nonjudgmental person to approach with mental health-related difficulties. They know about available resources and they can provide resource cards to assist others in getting help and support. None of us has to be alone in our struggles.

The Green Bandana Project is part of a growing number of colleges because students aged 15-24 are in the highest risk group for many mental illnesses, though 1 in 4 nationally will not seek help or treatment. In addition, there are more than 1,000 deaths by suicide on college campuses annually in the United States. Our hope is that there will be green bandanas all around campus to let students know that their peers and faculty are always there for them.

How to Join the Brigade

In order to earn a green bandana and become an advocate for mental health, one must complete an online mental health training.  Vector Mental Health Training is a research-based, interactive role-play simulation that builds awareness, knowledge, and skills about mental health and suicide prevention. It prepares users to lead real-life conversations with fellow students in distress and then connect them with support. At the end of the training, the participant will be presented with a certification of completion. Bring the certificate to the Counseling Center to receive your green bandana and set of resource cards.

Thank you for prioritizing the mental health of others and welcome to the Brigade!
