“
I have struggled with my mental health all my life and reached an all-time low my sophomore year of college—I tried to end my life. I am lucky to have survived. I am grateful to be alive and for Active Minds. It gives dignity and a voice to stories like mine, creating new hope from the ashes of silent suffering. — Active Minds Chapter Member, University of Connecticut

A Message from the Founder & Executive Director
A TIME OF POSSIBILITY Dear Friends, Picture a high school senior who is captain of the school’s debate team, a soloist in the rock and roll concert, and announcer at the local football games who graduates with honors and goes on to Columbia University. In college he writes a sports column for the school paper and is a member of an a cappella group while maintaining a 3.8 GPA and on the fast track to law school. Then he abruptly takes his own life. This is the story of my brother Brian, and unfortunately the story of thousands of other students across the country. Mental health disorders among college students are not just common, but a leading impediment to academic success. Consider that half of all college students have had suicidal thoughts. Many stay silent, and for some the suffering can have tragic consequences. At the age of 21, I established Active Minds to bring the signs and symptoms of mental health disorders into the forefront of a national conversation. In the last 10 years it has gone from a small group of students in my dorm room to a network of more than 400 student-led chapters across the country and a dozen nationally acclaimed programs. Active Minds’ Send Silence Packing® goes on tour every spring and fall displaying 1,100 donated backpacks with personal stories representing the 1,100 college students who die by suicide every year. National Day Without Stigma, observed every October, is dedicated to eliminating the shame and discrimination surrounding mental health disorders. My story is not unique. There are many who have experienced the tragedy of losing someone to suicide and the barriers to finding treatment. We can change the conversation about mental health but we need you as our partner. Together we can empower today’s students who will be the policymakers, practitioners, and parents of tomorrow. With gratitude,
Alison K. Malmon Founder & Executive Director

BECAUSE WE ALL HAVE MENTAL HEALTH Mental health problems are common among college students and can affect anyone regardless of a person’s culture, race, gender, ethnicity, economic status, or where they live. The consequences of untreated mental health disorders are devastating. Students’ lives, academics, and future careers suffer. Issues from depression and anxiety to eating disorders can cause lower GPAs, increase the likelihood of dropping out, and are the strongest risk factors for suicide. Because of shame and lack of understanding about these problems, mental health often is not discussed and overlooked, leaving too many students to suffer in silence. For many this may mean becoming more withdrawn and missing out on academic and social opportunities, and for others the suffering can have tragic consequences.

“At the end of the day, regardless of how many students are reached, how many people on campus become educated, how much advocacy the chapter achieves, or how many programs are run, Active Minds creates places of support, comfort, and belonging to those ‘lost’ students.” — Active Minds Faculty Advisor, Ramapo College
PROVIDING HOPE Changing the conversation about mental health means creating a culture where mental health is cared for, talked about, and valued in the same way as physical health. When students feel distressed they turn to their peers: 67 percent of college students tell a friend when they are in crisis, while only 2 percent indicate that they would seek help from a mental health professional. By leveraging a peer-to-peer model of education and outreach, Active Minds educates students about the signs and symptoms of mental health disorders, encourages students to reach out when help is needed, and promotes positive mental health without shame or stigma. We are changing the culture on campuses and in the community by providing information, leadership opportunities, and advocacy training to the next generation. Our vision is one of supportive campuses and communities, educational resources, and stigma-reducing mental health policies to immediately improve the lives of young adults. Through a dozen nationally acclaimed programs and a network of more than 400 student-led chapters at colleges and universities across the country, Active Minds is providing a supportive and proactive environment for student mental health. Our programs are tailored to the college experience to facilitate dialogue between peers, administrators, and campus counseling centers while infusing the student voice into policies that affect their mental health.

VISUALIZE THE IMPACT Send Silence Packing Send Silence PackingŽ is Active Minds’ award-winning public education exhibit of 1,100 backpacks, representing the number of college students who die by suicide every year. Active Minds displays backpacks that have been donated in memory of loved ones who have died by suicide. This impactful traveling exhibit puts a face to those lives and brings into scope the severity of suicide among college students, promoting a dialogue around suicide and mental health. Passersby walking among the backpacks see the pictures and read the personal stories of those who have died, and learn about mental health, suicide prevention, and where to seek help. Send Silence Packing was unveiled on the National Mall in Washington, DC, in 2008, with a keynote speech by The Honorable Patrick Kennedy. Since then, more than 300,000 people in 75 cities throughout the country have experienced Send Silence Packing.

“The conference made me recognize that each individual plays a vital role in this movement and I have the capacity to really make a visible change on my campus. It made me feel much less alone and helped me realize how much support there is for this movement that I am so dedicated to.” — Chapter Member, 2011 National Mental Health on Campus Conference
EDUCATE. EMPOWER. ENERGIZE. The Active Minds National Mental Health on Campus Conference Active Minds coordinates the National Mental Health on Campus Conference, the leading national conference geared toward young adult mental health activists. Held annually in November, this conference brings together hundreds of students, college officials, and health professionals from across the country to strategize approaches to eliminate stigma and create an engaging dialogue about mental health on campus. The National Mental Health on Campus Conference provides students with the resources to implement effective awareness campaigns on their own campuses, network with like-minded advocates, and share strategies to create institutional change. Students also learn how to talk to their peers about mental health, recognize the warning signs, and are guided on how to support a friend in crisis. Speakers and guests have included Dr. Thomas Insel, Dr. Kay Redfield Jamison, author Frank Warren, and actress Brittany Snow. The National Mental Health on Campus Conference has been revered as the leading forum in student mental health and recognized by The Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal, and CBS.
The Emerging Scholars Fellowship Active Minds’ Emerging Scholars Fellowship provides student scholars the opportunity to complete funded, independent mental health research projects. The Fellowship connects students to a network of other young scholars and provides dedicated mentorship from national experts in the field of behavioral health. The research is as diverse as the students who pursue it, with past projects ranging from understanding the correlation between undocumented students’ legal status and their mental health to a campus-wide initiative that explored female students’ body experiences that inspired new and critical dialogues about health, weight, and beauty. The Fellowship is a leading program dedicated to mental health research by students and has been generously supported by the Thomas Scattergood Behavioral Health Foundation.

California Institute of Technology
University of Dayton
After a series of suicides rocked the CalTech community, a group of students started an Active Minds chapter. The chapter provides education and awareness programming to CalTech students where rates of stress, anxiety, and other mental health concerns are especially high.
Active Minds at the University of Dayton successfully petitioned campus administrators to print a crisis hotline number on the back of all student identification cards. Thanks to their efforts more than 10,000 student ID cards include relevant crisis information.

Ithaca College Active Minds at Ithaca College’s Speak Your Mind Panels are reaching students, faculty, and staff across campus with messages of mental health awareness. Students provide stories that all college-aged students across campus may relate to, including depression, anxiety, eating disorders, and stress. The panels foster an environment of peer support and create a space for an open dialogue about mental health.
Emory University Active Minds at Emory University hosted a Stress Relief Carnival, coordinated a schoolwide a cappella benefit concert, and organized Generation Rx, a prescription drug abuse seminar, as part of their spring programming. The chapter also hosted the first Southeast Regional Summit, bringing together attendees from 16 different colleges to plan, collaborate, and lead educational activities geared toward mental health.

GIVING HOPE A VOICE The Active Minds Speaker Bureau The Active Minds Speakers Bureau provides positive examples of mental health by featuring young people who have dealt with their own mental health issues and encourages others to recognize and seek help for their own emotional difficulties. Research consistently shows that the most effective way to address stigma surrounding mental health disorders is peer-to-peer contact. The Active Minds Speakers Bureau has reached more than one million people with young adults’ personal stories of struggles and survival. Our speakers—trained by the top mental health professionals—educate, entertain, and inspire audiences through personal storytelling. Each speaker’s story is unique. The presentations are data driven and cover a variety of topics, such as healthy coping mechanisms, stigma reduction, help-seeking, and calls to action. The Active Minds Speakers Bureau can speak to thousands of people or a small group, with presentations that are appropriate for colleges, high schools, conferences, and all types of organizations.

“Your story makes me feel less alone, like I was born with wings not arms and all this time I’ve been using them to cover my voice. I filled my mouth with feathers so that I wouldn’t speak too loud. Thank you for helping me realize that there are other people with wings, and it’s okay to use them to fly.” — Active Minds Chapter Member, Oberlin College
CHANGE THROUGH ACTION Stress Less Week “I’m so stressed” is one of the most commonly used phrases on college campuses. Students enter college already feeling the pressure to succeed, worrying about the earning potential of their degree, job prospects after graduation, and the debt they will carry. Add to that the academic and social stresses, the pressure of being in a new place, meeting new friends, and learning vital new life skills. College can be a stress minefield. In the past year, 86 percent of college students reported feeling overwhelmed by all they had to do and 29 percent of students cited stress as a factor that negatively affected their academic performance. To curb this ever-increasing trend, Active Minds created community-based stress relief and awareness programming by providing chapters and communities with stress relief Action Kits. Through stress-relieving activities like petting puppies from the local animal shelter to stomping bubble wrap and creating their own stress balls, Active Minds’ stress relief programming works to create supportive communities where speaking up about one’s struggles is a sign of strength and self-awareness.
Eating Disorders Awareness Week More than 30 million people struggle with an eating disorder over the course of their lifetime but only one in 10 seeks treatment. During Eating Disorders Awareness Week, held annually in February, Active Minds works to change those statistics. Our online Action Kit equips chapters and communities with the warning signs and treatment options for eating disorders. The kits provide participants with effective language and behaviors that friends and family can adopt to support someone who is struggling with anorexia, bulimia, or a binge-eating disorder. Our kits carry the message that you don’t need to be an expert to help someone. You just need to be there.

PROGRAMS/CAMPAIGNS
STOMPING OUT STIGMA National Day Without Stigma National Day Without Stigma, Active Minds’ longest-running awareness campaign, is held the first week of October in conjunction with Mental Health Awareness Week. National Day Without Stigma works to eliminate the shame and discrimination surrounding mental health disorders to create communities of understanding, support, and help-seeking. Research confirms that students who are in crisis resist or delay help-seeking because of stigma and shame. Active Minds has created a turn-key solution for students and community members to develop customized campaigns to reduce stigma, reject shame and silence, and embrace hope and open conversation. Our Action Kit—complete with activities like chalking messages on sidewalks, media materials to reach out to the community, and data-driven educational resources—gets students engaged in conversations about their mental health.

“
I am truly inspired by the impact Active Minds has on campuses across North America. This
organization’s movement for acceptance, change, and action is transforming discrimination and indifference about mental health on college campuses around the country. Thanks to the innovative work of Active Minds, students know they are not alone in their struggles, that it is
important to seek help, and that they need not feel shame for living with mental disorders. I encourage all colleges to follow their lead and support Active Minds on their campuses. —Thomas R. Insel, MD, Director of the National Institute of Mental Health, NIH www.ActiveMinds.org

A Message from the Founder & Executive Director
A MISSION POISED TO SCALE Dear Friends, Active Minds is proud to continue our tradition of solid financial growth. In FY2013, Active Minds carried out our life-saving mission on more than 400 campuses in 47 states with 12 staff members and a modest budget of $1.43 million. Lean and fiscally responsible, Active Minds allocated $0.87 of every dollar directly to its services.
2013 Annual Report
In addition to maintaining a balanced budget, the organization experienced many successes during FY 2012-2013: •
•
• •
Impacted 53,000 individuals on college campuses and city centers throughout California with our suicide awareness and prevention program, Send Silence Packing®. Organized the first Active Minds Stomp Out Stigma walk and hosted more than 600 student advocates, parents and campus leaders at our National Mental Health on Campus Conference. Trained 6,174 volunteers to host more than 3,256 awareness campaigns and events. Coordinated 103 powerful mental health presentations that combined education and personal storytelling by members of the Active Minds Speakers Bureau.
As evidenced by these accomplishments, Active Minds’ services are in high demand. Each year, we receive hundreds of requests from students and school officials across the country to bring Active Minds programming to their campuses. Our programs are designed for scalability and are unconstrained by geography or relevance; yet, Active Minds remains a startup—our growth limited only by the organization’s financial constraints. It is with pleasure that I present to you Active Minds’ 2012-2013 Annual Report. I hope you are as excited as I am with our growth and efficiencies. By maintaining an unflinching commitment to business practices, Active Minds is poised to make the transition from a startup nonprofit to a self-sustainable social enterprise. Stand with us as we embark on another challenging and exciting year to save lives and bring lasting change to students in higher education. Sincerely yours, Alison K. Malmon

2012-2013 Financial Data Active Minds is proud to continue its tradition of fiscal responsibility by maintaining a balanced budget. While national leaders in intelligent giving guidance—GuideStar, Charity Navigator, and BBB Wise Giving Alliance—are shifting the conversation from specific spending to assessing an organization’s financial health, governance practices and impact, how we put our supporters’ donations to work is still very important to our organization. Active Minds is recognized as a Silver-level GuideStar Exchange participant, an official seal-of-approval noting our commitment to transparency.
Expenses Active Minds continues to be an efficient and mission-driven organization. While each Active Minds chapter costs approximately $3,000 to maintain, we are proud that $0.87 of every dollar donated is allocated to program services. To respond to the overall demand for its services, Active Minds remains dedicated to advancing the level of contributions made to support our work.
