DMAX Foundation

As students head back to campus, I’m reminded of how challenging it can be to adjust to a new semester. Though it's going back almost 10 years (wow, can it really be that long?!), I can still remember the uncertainty and anxiety I felt leaving home for the first time. Moving to school where I didn’t know anyone and being two hours away from most family and friends was, at times, overwhelming. I got involved with the DMAX Foundation pretty early on, and it gave me the opportunity to speak with other students about the everyday stresses of college and being a young person. Now, I sit on the DMAX Board and support their mission to bring these same conversations and connections to young people on college campuses. Right now, we’re running our Back to Campus Fundraiser, and there’s less than 10 days left! This fundraiser is about giving students the support I know they need, and we can all make an impact. Please help us expand DMAX’s reach—every contribution counts. 🙌 👉 Donate here: https://lnkd.in/ewGqeyEH #BackToCampus #SupportMentalHealth #DMAXStrong 💬 What’s one way a conversation helped you through a tough time?
