Our campaign has closed, and we just want to know that it is because of YOU that we could do any of this. With this money, we will be able to plan a speaker event that will have a widespread effect because we plan to welcome all students of Northwestern. This can start a domino effect — the knowledge and insight they gain from this experience can be transferred to others in their community, and we would love to see a shift in attitudes towards mental health. 

And we’re off! We have just launched, and it is because of you that we are making progress towards our goal! In the spirit of Giving Tuesday, if you could contribute to our speaker event, we would so greatly appreciate it! This could make a difference in the mental wellness community.

According to a study published in the Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, the education programs of Active Minds organizations across the nation have made a meaningful impact on students’ understanding and attitudes towards mental health issues, which can help establish a more welcoming environment for everyone. With this speaker event that you are helping us achieve, we can further this effect! If you could spread the word with those who may be interested in shaping a university community that fosters mental well-being, we would really appreciate it.
