"Our chapter of Active Minds held its first
successful National Day Without Stigma in the fall of 2009, and due to the
success of this event, awareness in our school and the surrounding community
has increased exponentially. People stop
our members on a daily basis and ask about our organization, hoping to become
involved in raising awareness of mental health issues."
