About PostSecretU

Endorsed by Frank Warren, the creator of PostSecret, and available exclusively from Active Minds, PostSecretU involves your community in understanding how everyone has secrets, many of which touch upon mental health.

Based on the wildly popular PostSecret project, PostSecretU is is the official PostSecret program for colleges and other organizations. It was developed with the guidance, support, and full endorsement of Frank Warren.

Contact us about purchasing a PostSecretU kit. You’ll want to encourage everyone in your community to participate by anonymously submitting their secrets on postcards (the method made famous by PostSecret). The exciting culmination of PostSecretU is a public display that features the submitted postcards for all to see.

Plus, because Frank Warren is an Active Minds Speaker, you have the option of inviting him to present PostSecretLive! as an added component to your PostSecretU display. Or, bring him to your community in advance of your display for a lively “How to Host a Successful PostSecretU Event” workshop.

Frank Warren and PostSecret

PostSecret is an on-going community art project started by Frank Warren. In 2007, he began inviting strangers to mail him their secrets anonymously on homemade postcards. Over a million postcards later, this simple idea has grown into six bestselling books, multiple museum exhibits, a play, and one of the most watched TED talks ever.

Each Sunday, Frank Warren continues to post a new selection of postcards on his blog. Sent to him by people all over the world, the postcards reveal secrets that range from serious to hilarious and touch on a variety of themes including family dynamics, religion, mental health, and various eccentricities. See our gallery featuring examples of submitted postcards.

Frank Warren is also an Active Minds speaker. You can bring Frank Warren to your location to present a speech to your audience about PostSecret, mental health, and more. Many organizations combine a PostSecretU event with a lively speaking engagement featuring Frank Warren.
