We're a group of passionate students intent on changing mental health perceptions by providing accurate, educational information on mental health illnesses to students, faculty, staff members, and our surrounding community. We seek to raise awareness about often stigmatized and controversial issues within the realm of mental health, such as depression and su***de, through a variety of engaging activities such as carnivals, keynote speakers, fundraisers, community service events, and much more. Our goal is to combat the stigma associated with mental illness and educate the public on the severity and prevalence of such illnesses. We seek to debunk myths and stereotypes that further ostracize individuals from seeking mental health resources as well as educate the public on the resources available in their communities and provide awareness on how to be a source of support for those going through a mental health crisis. Through these engaging activities, we seek to approach mental health awareness from a new perspective in the hopes of reducing su***de rates and the number of individuals suffering in silence within our community.
