About us
Active Minds is a national 501(c)3 organization that empowers students to speak openly about mental health in order to educate others and encourage help-seeking. We are changing the culture on campuses and in the community by providing information, leadership opportunities and advocacy training to the next generation. By developing and supporting chapters of a student-run mental health awareness, education, and advocacy group on campuses nationwide, the nonprofit organization works to increase students’ awareness of mental health issues, provide information and resources regarding mental health and mental illness, encourage students to seek help as soon as it is needed, and serve as liaison between students and the mental health community. Through campus-wide events and national programs, Active Minds aims to remove the stigma that surrounds mental health issues, and create a comfortable environment for an open conversation about mental health issues on campuses nationwide.

Mental health is an essential part of our daily lives, especially for young adults facing the challenges of independence, academic pressure, and social change. We had the opportunity to speak with Great.com on their Great.com Talks With... series to share how Active Minds is breaking the stigma and creating supportive environments where students and communities can talk openly about mental health. In this interview, Brandi Pretlow, our VP of Community Initiatives, discusses the power of our student-led chapters, impactful programs like Send Silence Packing, and our ongoing efforts to build mental health into the core of campus life and beyond.

No family, neighborhood, or business remains untouched by today’s mental health crisis that is claiming the lives of far too many youth and young adults. We believe that education is the antidote to stigma blocking care, and a collective community response to this health emergency must include young adults as essential partners. That is why we are expanding our partnership with Active Minds, Inc. to bring their interactive Send Silence Packing® exhibit to more than 100 U.S. college and university campuses in 2024 and 2025. The award-winning event features 100 backpacks with the mental health stories of 100 individuals centering on the themes of loss, survival, and resilience. We have seen first-hand the power of the storytelling and knowledge within the Send Silence Packing exhibit. Most important, it is making a difference. Active Minds’ recent survey found 76% of Send Silence Packing attendees supported their own well-being with information from the exhibit and 70% have supported their friends and family. We hope education, business, and community leaders in the cities and towns hosting Send Silence Packing will join us in a unified effort to change the culture around mental health. Together, we can end silence, inspire hope, and save lives. http://ms.spr.ly/6047mKVyU #MentalHealth #SuicidePrevention
