Join Active Minds!

Are you interested in mental health awareness or breaking down the stigma against mental illnesses? Do you want to change the conversation about mental health? Then check out Active Minds at Drexel University!

The Active Minds student organization will serve as a liaison between students and the mental health community by promoting open discussions about mental health, and holding various events such as movie screenings, panel discussions, stress relief activities and being a part of national events (Mental Health Awareness week, Stomp out Stigma, National Eating Disorder Awareness Week, etc.).

Our Goals are to break down the stigma of mental illness, raise awareness of mental health amongst college students, and to provide information and educate our campus about mental illnesses and what help is available.
