young adult mental health
We know from Active Minds’ mental health 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.
July is #BIPOCMentalHealthMonth, a time to amplify the nuanced experiences of BIPOC individuals and how those experiences impact their mental health. Throughout the month, we'll be highlighting and amplifying voices from the BIPOC community who are advocating for change – including students from our Emerging Scholars Fellowship, one of Active Minds' longest-standing programs.
Head to the link in our bio to learn more about some of this Emerging Scholars cohort's work, and help us amplify these critical voices by staying tuned this month for even more from BIPOC advocates and researchers. 💛
As #Pride month comes to a close, know that the conversation should not stop here. Our LGBTQ+ resource hub has tools for learning and advocacy, stories from our community, and additional learning and action resources to reference year-round – find it at the link in our bio. 💛
Being proud might look different for everyone – whatever way you celebrate #Pride, know that the Active Minds community sees you and accepts you for your true self. We're so glad you're here.
Find our LGBTQ+ hub at the link in our bio for resources and ways to show your support this Pride month 💛

We are so grateful you're here, and we're grateful for every single aspect of you are – there are no exceptions. This #Pride, celebrate every part of yourself and know you are valued!

#Pride is a great time to reflect on the choices we make with our words – if you find that you've made a mistake, CALM, the microaggression repair tool, developed in partnership with @clasp_dc and @trevorproject, can help. The first step is C, which stands for Center the Other Person. Put the situation in perspective – don’t make excuses or say that you had good intentions or focus on “you” at all. See this as an opportunity to improve your relationship with the person you committed the microaggression against.
