"Active
Minds appeals to the commonalities of the entire student body as we all know
someone affected by mental health issues and we all want to know how to help.
As a Resident Assistant on campus, I can see the impact we are making - the
counseling center is no longer invisible and the term depression is no longer
taboo."
