We know from our recent survey that 74% of high school students report having experienced stress or anxiety as a result of COVID-19. So, we wanted to reach out to them directly to learn more. We invite you to watch this short video by students, for students. Then share their message far and wide: it is okay to not be okay.

It’s Community Day! Thank you to everyone who participated in our first-ever Spirit Week! We LOVED seeing your spirit, passion, events, fundraisers, & expertise this week!
Spirit Week may be coming to an end but we hope that you will continue to advocate for mental health throughout the year! We all play a role in changing the conversation about mental health. Continue to show up to talk openly about mental health and be there for yourself and your community. 💛
Simply letting someone know that they are not alone and that they matter can make all of the difference. 💜
For Connection Day, we have two asks, 1️⃣ Send someone the #HereForYou sticker and let them know you want to have a conversation about mental health. 2️⃣ If you are comfortable, share your mental health journey with someone you trust.
It’s so important that we use our platforms and voices to create change, especially for those who are oppressed and underrepresented.
Today is Advocacy Day. Join us by using your voice to advocate for policies and initiatives in your community that ensure everyone has access to mental health resources.
Need some help getting started? Check out activeminds.org/yourvoice. 💛
It’s day 2️⃣ of Spirit Week, Education Day! Spend some time today learning tips & tools on ways you can help someone who may be struggling.
One way to help is by utilizing our

50% of us will experience a mental health condition in our lifetime. 50%! That is why we are passionate about mental health and supporting young adults in getting the help they need and deserve. 💛
Today is the first day of Active Minds Spirit Week, a nation-wide call to action to change the conversation around mental health. We're excited to kick-off this week with Awareness Day because, in order to change the conversation around mental health, we first need to know what it is and how we can help someone who is struggling.
Stay tuned to our stories today to learn ways you can help support mental health in your community.
Sometimes we can feel stuck and don't know what to do. But help is available and you don't have to suffer in silence.
If you're feeling Lonely or know someone who is struggling, swipe for mental health resources & visit activeminds.org/lonely
