Active Minds is the only organization working to utilize the student voice to change the conversation about mental health on college campuses. By developing and supporting chapters of a student-run mental health awareness, education, and advocacy group on campuses, the 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 throughout North America.

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."
