The purpose of this organization is to create a safe and inclusive community where all are welcomed to participate and contribute to wellness-focused activities. We work to provide mental health-focused events to educate and encourage conversations to de-stigmatize mental health and increase help-seeking.
Being a part of Active Minds means gaining skills in different areas such as:
