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

I Joined Active Minds because I wanted to be more involved with mental health advocacy. Coming from a very small town I witness the lack of advocacy there was and the negative light people shed to mental health. With that I wanted to make a difference in my community and others so that people would not be afraid to reach out for help. I want to make sure that resources are availbe and that talking about mental health is not bad or a weakness. | ||
