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.

As the holidays approach, don’t forget to set aside time for yourself. Find time to rest, to do the things you enjoy, and to prioritize your mental health. 🤗
Three simple words can mean so much to someone who is struggling. 💚
"My brother, Brian, died by suicide 20 years ago. Brian made you laugh, challenged what you knew or thought you knew, and just made you feel good. He was my best friend and I miss him every day. I started Active Minds in his honor to open the conversation about mental health so no one ever feels alone and I’m continually inspired by the community of hope his legacy has built. Grieving takes time, and there are still moments, even 20 years later, where the pain and the memories make it seem like I just lost Brian yesterday. This Survivor Day, and every day, I hope you take all the grace and time you need to remember your loved ones and find a way - big or small - to honor them.” - Alison Malmon, Founder and Executive Director of Active Minds

You’ve made your first therapy appointment, and you may be feeling a little anxious.
