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.

Carolyn Latkovich from Active Minds at Moravian College says:
|
"I am dedicated to spreading the word about
important topics such as suicide awareness because I lost a close friend to
suicide in high school... Active Minds provides an arena
for college students to voice their opinions about mental health, share their personal experiences,
and learn more about a subject that is otherwise ignored."
