Happy Fall 2024!

If you’re new to the Green Bandana Brigade – welcome to the team!

The "Green Bandana Brigade" (GBB) community, consists of fellow students, staff, faculty, and administrators who acknowledge the importance of mental health, are committed to increasing awareness of the broad range of mental health experiences, and share wellness resources with campus community members. We want to express continued gratitude for the commitment to mental health awareness and education demonstrated by our new and returning GBB members at Loyola.

Still need a green bandana (or a new one for the new year)?

• Check out the box to the right for instructions on how to pick up your green bandana!
• Wear your bandana with pride somewhere visible to others, so they know you have made this commitment to mental health awareness.

What’s next?

• Twice a semester, you will receive a Green Bandana Brigade newsletter that highlights events on campus that have a mental health awareness focus and welcomes our new GBB members.
• Review the list of events below to see what you have availability to attend.
• We strongly encourage you to attend at least one mental health and wellness related event per semester.

What’s new?

• Wellfest 2024 – this year’s inaugural Wellfest event took place on September 18 and featured campus wellness resources, yard games, Taharka Brothers ice cream, a DIY trail mix bar, therapy dogs, and a ZUMBA Demonstration! This event was a huge success thanks to our campus partners and engaged students – we are looking forward to more events like this to come as we continue fostering a community of care on our campus.
   

Again, we want to thank you for taking this step to promote mental health awareness and education on Loyola's campus!
