Active Minds at Maryland

Everyone has mental health and so everyone has a part to play in Active Minds. Chapters create compassionate communities of support and hope that extends beyond their group and influences all aspects of campus life. Active Minds works to increase mental health awareness on campus, raise funds for critical mental health education and resources through the Active Minds national office, promote positive mental health, educate their peers about the signs and symptoms of mental health disorders, and encourage students to reach out for help when needed. Powered by more than 700 chapters located at high schools and colleges nationwide, Active Minds plays an important role in referring students to resources and starting conversations about this important topic. Each year, more than 15,000 students join an Active Minds high school or college chapter to serve as passionate advocates, stigma fighters, and educators for mental health.
