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.
We want to hear from you: if you're an employee, employer, manager, or a working professional, what do you think is most needed in the workplace to support mental well being?

After much consideration regarding the Omicron variant and its continued impact, we’ve made the difficult decision to cancel our in-person 2022 Active Minds National Conference. This decision wasn’t easy, but we feel it is the best way to keep the Active Minds community safe. Though we won’t be able to gather in DC this February, Active Minds is planning a curated virtual event on February 10th to give our community an opportunity to connect – stay tuned for more updates on how we'll continue to change the conversation about mental health, together. 💚💙
