Becky Gordon, co-president of Active Minds at Boston University, has received this year's University of Michigan Student Health Advocate Award! Congratulations Becky!
Welcome Active Minds at SUNY Geneseo (Geneseo, NY) - our 248th chapter.
Because of the incredible mobilizing of our chapters and chapter members; Board of Directors, and Student and National Advisory Committees; friends, family and supporters; and with the help of many of our suicide prevention and mental health promotion colleagues, Active Minds finished in 4th place in the Pepsi Refresh Everything Competition, $50,000 category! Because we were in the top 10 we are eligible for a $50,000 grant to fund a tour of our signature Send Silence Packing program, bringing attention to the tragedy of college student suicide. Thank you to everyone who helped make this happen! With your help we WILL send silence packing and bring attention to the tragedy of college student suicide

Heather Willes from Active Minds at Bryn Mawr College says:
"Active Minds has given me a feeling of control over how I view myself and has instilled within me the belief that the silence surrounding the stigma of mental illness can be broken. It has made me more comfortable talking about my own experiences and I can only hope that it can do the same for others."
