Congratulations to Active Minds at UConn on the Daily Campus' coverage of their Self-injury Awareness Day panel discussion.
Welcome Active Minds at SUNY Geneseo (Geneseo, NY) - our 248th chapter.
Because of the incredible mobilizing of our chapters and chapter members; Board of Directors, and Student and National Advisory Committees; friends, family and supporters; and with the help of many of our suicide prevention and mental health promotion colleagues, Active Minds finished in 4th place in the Pepsi Refresh Everything Competition, $50,000 category! Because we were in the top 10 we are eligible for a $50,000 grant to fund a tour of our signature Send Silence Packing program, bringing attention to the tragedy of college student suicide. Thank you to everyone who helped make this happen! With your help we WILL send silence packing and bring attention to the tragedy of college student suicide

Asher Morris from Active Minds at Yeshiva University says:

"[the national office has] been nothing but helpful...our
chapter coordinator, Amy, has been an integral part of our campaign here at
YU. She has advised me on many issues regarding our chapter, from
allowing me to bounce ideas off of her and providing me with exceptional
feedback regarding the events we've planned, to being there when we have
questions about random things Active Minds. All-in-all, I'd say that the
national office...really provides us with the perfect amount of information to
run an outstanding chapter. We've benefited a lot from them, and so has
our campus."
