Active Minds speaker helps NMSU students reframe mental health

 

"Using a peer-to-peer approach, Active Minds changes the conversation about mental health among adolescents and young adults, reduces stigma associated with mental health conditions, and establishes a culture of caring on college and university campuses.

Our programs and resources are built for students, faculty, staff, administrators, and the broad campus community to ensure long-term change at the individual, campus community, and policy levels. Active Minds prioritizes the student voice to ensure a student-driven and student-focused approach in mental health promotion. We inspire mental health advocates to have conversations that have the potential to save lives." Active Minds

Why did you join Active Minds? 
I joined Active Minds because I believe mental health is something everyone deserves to talk about openly and without judgment. As a peer-led organization, Active Minds creates a supportive community where students can connect, find resources, and help break down the stigma surrounding mental health. Being part of this initiative allows me to advocate for others while helping create a campus where no one feels like they have to struggle alone.
