Applying offline communication techniques
Communicating effectively in the 21st century can be challenging when so much of modern communication happens digitally, over devices and without the benefit of being able to see how others are directly reacting to what you have shared.
Offline communication techniques have been honed over the years to create recommendations for how to actively listening to others, connect an audience to what you have to say and create a space for ideas to flourish collectively so everyone has an opportunity to be seen, heard, or read on a screen. Use the list of tips below as both a guide and a cheat sheet for:
Texting, message boards & social media posts
- Re-read everything you type into the message composition space before you share
- Clarity is critical when posting messages
- Consider the tone of your messages
- Limit the use of emojis in your posts and responses
Live chat exchanges
- Become familiar with the chat software
- Be careful what you post
- Let someone know when you’re not available
Live video sessions for classes or work
- Put your best face forward.
- Use a live broadcast reminder when you’re using your camera
- Check your live camera space before broadcasting

The Green Bandana Initiative, an effort spearheaded by members of the State Advisory Council of Students, is a mental health awareness and training campaign aimed at encouraging students at West Virginia's colleges and universities to receive peer-level mental health training, AND at bringing about increased awareness of the importance of mental health.
The Green Bandana Initiative is intended to be a student-led effort, calling on SGA members and other student leaders on campus to help spread the word about mental health trainings such as Mental Health First Aid or QPR (Question, Persuade, Refer) to their fellow students and encourage them to sign-up and be trained.
On-campus and virtual training opportunities are being established for various dates throughout March and April, and will be announced shortly.
The green bandanas worn by the trained students will also serve to raise awareness of the importance of mental health.
