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.
Saying “I believe you” or “I’m glad you chose to share” lets others know that you are there for them and will listen. Sign the #HereForYou pledge to show that you care and support your loved ones. 💛
Take the pledge ➡️ activeminds.org/pledge
When you let someone know that you are here for them, you are also telling them that you will listen when they’re struggling, without judgement. To learn how to be there and actively listen, use our V-A-R tool for everyday conversations by visiting activeminds.org/var.
While you’re at it, sign the #HereForYou pledge to let others know that you WILL listen and be there. ➡️ activeminds.org/pledge
Letting someone know that you are here for them and that their mental health matters can mean so much.💙 Words are important, but so are actions! This #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth, take our new Here For You pledge to let others know that you are committed to continuing the conversation around mental health. To learn more and sign, visit activeminds.org/pledge.
Healing from past trauma doesn’t happen overnight, and that’s okay. Be proud of where you are and what you have been able to accomplish. 💙

Your feelings are valid, whatever they may be 💚💙
What we say to ourselves matters the most, especially when experiencing stress or anxiety. Find a moment to recite these important messages. You deserve to let your mind be at ease. 🧘♂️
