STORIES THAT MOVE MILLIONS
No matter the season

At Active Minds, we believe in the power of youth & young adult stories. These stories of courage, connection, and leadership move millions no matter the season. For over 20 years, young people have turned to Active Minds to transform their lived experiences into action, creating communities where mental health is valued and prioritized.

The results speak for themselves: a RAND Corporation study found that when mental health is supported, psychological distress decreases and help-seeking increases*. This year alone, more than 10,000 young leaders reached over 1 million of their peers through advocacy and support. As we work toward mobilizing 100,000 youth & young adults by 2028, your support helps ensure their stories continue to move hearts, shift culture, and create lasting change nationwide.

By equipping, connecting, and amplifying the collective and diverse stories of young people, we are building a movement of lasting champions who are improving mental health norms for all.

Thank you for prioritizing mental health this holiday season.
