Active Minds

I founded Active Minds in 2003, following the loss of my brother Brian to suicide. I was a college student, overwhelmed by both the stress of school and young adulthood and grieving the loss of my best friend. I knew two things at that point: that I never wanted another student to suffer in silence the way Brian had, and that my peers, fellow youth and young adults, could be the ones to change this narrative. Active Minds was born as an organization of young people mobilizing in mental health, and throughout the countless changes these past two decades have brought, everything from the first iPhone to COVID-19, we have remained committed to supporting and uplifting the next generation in becoming the mental health change so desperately needed in schools, on campuses, and in communities.
