Given out to students at presentations or at outreach awareness events. The colors are green, which represents mental health, and white which represents hope that one day stigma will be gone and no one will ever be afraid to ask for help for a biological brain based illness. When these are given to students we ask that they wear them, they make a promise to their friends, that they are approachable, without judgment and criticism, and they will find a trusted adult to help. I have had students, who self-mutilate, tell me that they look down at the wristband, and find the courage to not hurt themselves. It is the amazing the power that a silicone wristband can have.
