Margaret (Maggie) Bertram grew up in several small towns in central Illinois where everyone knew each other's business. She became a master at projecting confidence, maturity, and success while hiding her thoughts and feelings inside. Maggie's perfectionism and anxiety struggles began in high school and continued through college where she struggled with shame associated with discovering her lesbian identity, major depression, obsessive compulsive disorder, and anorexia nervosa.

Reissa Decena from Active Minds at University of California-Riverside says:

"Active Minds challenged me to think creatively about ways in which the issues of mental health can be embodied and presented relevantly to college students. In the process of helping draft projects which have a basis in mental health topics, I have become more informed about these topics - as well as the specific student body that is our target audience."
