Let's change the conversation about mental health.
About us
Active Minds is a national 501(c)3 organization that empowers students to speak openly about mental health in order to educate others and encourage help-seeking. We are changing the culture on campuses and in the community by providing information, leadership opportunities and advocacy training to the next generation. By developing and supporting chapters of a student-run mental health awareness, education, and advocacy group on campuses nationwide, the nonprofit organization works to increase students’ awareness of mental health issues, provide information and resources regarding mental health and mental illness, encourage students to seek help as soon as it is needed, and serve as liaison between students and the mental health community. Through campus-wide events and national programs, Active Minds aims to remove the stigma that surrounds mental health issues, and create a comfortable environment for an open conversation about mental health issues on campuses nationwide.

I’m thrilled to share that my episode on The Vault with Dr. Judith Joseph MD MBA is live! Over the course of 40 minutes, Dr. Judith and I cover topics like how to talk to youth about mental health, the power of peer support, how to cope with high functioning depression, and so much more. Getting to share my story and highlight the amazing work our team at Active Minds, Inc. has done to help change conversations around mental health mean everything to me, and I thank Dr. Judith for having me on the podcast.

This International Survivors of Suicide Loss Day, we pause to remember and hold space. Whether you're carrying memories, questions, or complex emotions - it all matters. You matter. "The World Needs You Here" isn't just a phrase - it's a reminder that talking about mental health and suicide prevention can save lives. When we break the silence, we create space for healing, understanding, and hope.

We are thrilled to share that our digital experience, A.S.K., has won EIGHT The Anthem Awards! 🎉🏆💜 When MTV Entertainment conducted a study and found that nearly 70% of young people do not believe they have the expertise or basic knowledge to help a friend, we knew there had to be a way to help them feel better equipped to support one another. That’s why Active Minds and SHOWTIME / MTV teamed up to create an interactive digital experience focused on emotional support. Visit https://bit.ly/3B2P2Fp to dive in and start putting A.S.K. into action today! #AskToHelp
