When Alison's brother Brian died by suicide during her
freshman year of college, she decided to take action. Alison founded and is now
the Executive Director of a college mental health advocacy organization called
Active Minds in 2001. Over the last 9 years, Active Minds has grown to reach
over 240 campuses across the country, hosts a variety of award winning
programs, and is the home to The Heard Speakers Bureau. Alison's keynote
program educates, impacts, and inspires. She speaks from the perspective of a
survivor of family suicide, leader of a large nonprofit organization, and an
advocate for erasing the stigma surrounding mental health.

"Active Minds has given me the opportunity to
meet people who care about this cause as much as I do. As a leader in such an
incredible organization I have learned so much about people. Being involved has also
encouraged me to be more determined in my curiosity to learn about mental
illness. I feel proud to be part of this organization."
