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.
Many individuals living with HIV/AIDS often feel alone and isolated, and we must do all we can to reduce stigma, increase our prevention efforts, and expand opportunities for care and treatment, including access to adequate mental health services. Today is World AIDS Day,an international day dedicated to raising awareness of the AIDS epidemic caused by the spread of HIV.. This year’s theme is “Ending the HIV Epidemic: Equitable Access, Everyone’s Voice,” and with this, we again recognize that equity in healthcare is a vital part of suicide prevention.
We have a generation of youth and young adults who have never known a world without HIV or AIDS. Despite this, we believe that this same generation will be the ones that bring on change for future generations, including ending the HIV/AIDS stigma and changing the way we approach mental health in our local communities and across the country.

Happy Thanksgiving! We’re so grateful you’re here. 💛💛💛
This Native American Heritage Month, Active Minds recognizes the impact colonialism has made on Indigenous communities and is committed to finding ways that we can all support each other and advocate for mental healthcare for all.
The Thanksgiving holiday season can be a difficult time for many people, including and especially those in the Native American community. This time of the year, many people may experience conflicting feelings of being encouraged to celebrate thankfulness while at the same time being confronted with reminders of a painful history that is too often overlooked. One way we can continue to honor Indigenous communities is ensuring that there is ample and appropriate healthcare for all. Mental health is a universal experience; everyone has it, and everyone deserves resources that can help them best take care of themselves. An emotionally healthy world is not possible without a just world.
I wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for Active Minds.
Active Minds is the nation's premier nonprofit organization promoting mental health for young adults.
