Active Minds at UW-Parkside

Active Minds at UW-Parkside Active Minds is a student-led organization that meets bi-weekly to change the conversation about mental health.

We have guest speakers, awareness campaigns and fun! Active Minds aims to remove the stigma that surrounds mental health issues, and create a comfortable environment for an open conversation about mental health issues on campus. Active Minds is the leading nonprofit organization that empowers students to speak openly about mental health in order to educate others and encourage help-seeking. We are

changing the culture on campus and in the community by providing information, leadership opportunities and advocacy training.

Due to unexpected circumstances regarding the health of one of our facilitators there will be no other support groups. We are deeply sorry for this turn of events but all we are hoping for is the health of our facilitator. For support groups in surrounding areas please contact NAMI Racine and NAMI Kenosha.

Good evening, everyone. We at Active Minds are wishing you a great second week of classes.

Today is Su***de Prevention Day. Although everyday it is important to observe the severity of su***de, remember those who the world has lost due to su***de and always help those that are struggling, today is an extra reminder to do so.

A person with suicidal thoughts does not always look sad or express all symptoms of depression. This is just a reminder to check up on your friends and family and ask them how they're doing, maybe spend some time with them.

If you or someone you know is struggling, please seek help. The Su***de Prevention Lifeline's number is 1-800-273-8255, but there is also an online chat option at https://su***depreventionlifeline.org/chat/ if you do not feel like talking.

If you are interested in additional resources or have other questions, never hesitate to message us here or on instagram .

This world is lucky to have you. 💗
