Congratulations to Active Minds at UConn on the Daily Campus' coverage of their Self-injury Awareness Day panel discussion.
Welcome Active Minds at SUNY Geneseo (Geneseo, NY) - our 248th chapter.
Because of the incredible mobilizing of our chapters and chapter members; Board of Directors, and Student and National Advisory Committees; friends, family and supporters; and with the help of many of our suicide prevention and mental health promotion colleagues, Active Minds finished in 4th place in the Pepsi Refresh Everything Competition, $50,000 category! Because we were in the top 10 we are eligible for a $50,000 grant to fund a tour of our signature Send Silence Packing program, bringing attention to the tragedy of college student suicide. Thank you to everyone who helped make this happen! With your help we WILL send silence packing and bring attention to the tragedy of college student suicide

"Becoming an advocate for mental health has been one of the
most rewarding and challenge achievements in my life. I decided the best way to make my voice heard was to run for
vice president of the Oregon
State University
chapter of Active Minds. It has not been easy fighting to reduce the stigma involved
with mental health. I am a member of the
Army ROTC on campus and I can tell you first hand that many men simply think
that talking about your problems is a joke.
I am a man and
I feel no shame in talking to people about my feelings and emotions. I want to live in a society that considers me
normal."
