CHThe 'Sunflower Lanyard' initiative aims to make invisible disabilities more visible by providing green lanyards with yellow sunflowers, which individuals with conditions such as dementia, anxiety disorders, ADHD, or autism can wear. These lanyards serve as internationally recognized symbols of support and understanding, allowing people to signal their needs in public spaces like public transportation, schools, and airports. In Switzerland, over 23,000 lanyards have been distributed by the SBB since last summer, and nearly 700 were given out at Zurich Airport.
